About Charles
Charles Matz is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Wisconsin with seven years of practice. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. He listens first and helps people name what matters most to them.
He works from the view that each person knows their life best and has strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than long lectures.
In conversations he will help identify patterns that keep problems going and try small changes that make daily life easier. That might mean practicing new ways to talk about feelings, testing out different responses to conflict, or learning quick tools to lower stress in the moment.
He pays attention to issues like control struggles, trouble forgiving, guilt or shame, and feelings of isolation. Those topics are explored with direct, down-to-earth language and concrete exercises when helpful.
People can expect straightforward guidance, calm listening, and help turning insights into actions. The work is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building skills. One common approach teaches practical coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as grounding exercises and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. Another helpful approach centers on improving communication - practicing how to express needs clearly and listen without escalating conflict, which can ease relationship stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to know which tools suit a person’s situation and preferences.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or get support when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
