Charles "Matt" Cox, LCMHC

Charles "Matt" Cox is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. He also supports those facing parenting challenges, career strain, and major life changes.

Matt focuses on people who have overlapping concerns, such as mood and substance use issues together. He works with clients coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and problems with self-esteem or anger. He also engages with people navigating sexuality, veteran-related issues, fatherhood, and personality-related challenges.

His style is client-centered. That means sessions start with the person's goals and priorities. He uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or dealing with addiction.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored. Matt checks in often about what is and isn’t helping and adjusts the plan. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on real-life steps the person can try between meetings.

With 11 years of experience, he draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. People interested in working together are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience and aims to make sessions responsive to what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting priorities, deciding what to work on, and steering the pace of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and short activities to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons for change and build readiness when they feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides what comes next.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into everyday life. It can reduce travel time, allow check-ins from work breaks, and support shorter focused sessions when time is tight. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking to learn which ways of meeting are offered.
