Getting to know Brandi Matz
Navigating anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm [Your Name], a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience specializing in anxiety. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. My passion lies in supporting adolescents, young adults, and women as they face life's challenges and work toward greater peace and resilience.
Through compassionate, evidence-based care, I help my clients understand and manage their anxiety, whether it's rooted in everyday stress, major life transitions, or deeper patterns. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, offering tools and strategies to build confidence and create lasting change.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I have authored two books on anxiety, sharing insights and practical guidance to empower readers on their journeys. This work reflects my deep commitment to helping individuals not only cope with anxiety but thrive despite it.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to walk alongside you. Together, we can create a path toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
What to Expect from Your Online Therapy Sessions:
Starting therapy is an important step, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident in what to expect as we work together. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your concerns and work toward meaningful change.
In our sessions, you can expect:
A Focus on You: Every session is about understanding your experiences, challenges, and goals. I’ll ask thoughtful questions and actively listen to help you gain clarity and insights.
Practical Tools and Strategies: I believe in equipping you with tools you can use outside of therapy. Whether it’s coping strategies for anxiety or techniques to navigate difficult emotions, my goal is to empower you in your daily life.
A Partnership in Growth: Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll identify patterns, uncover underlying issues, and create actionable steps to help you move forward.
A Supportive and Flexible Format: Online therapy allows us to connect from the comfort of your own space. I use a secure platform to ensure confidentiality and make the process as seamless as possible.
Every individual’s journey is different, and I tailor my methods to fit your personal style and needs. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or a deeper exploration, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.
If you have questions or concerns about what therapy will look like, I encourage you to share them. Together, we’ll make sure this process supports you in the best way possible.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
What a Typical Online Therapy Session Looks Like:
Online therapy offers the convenience of meeting from your own space while maintaining the same depth and connection as in-person sessions. Here’s what you can expect during a typical session:
Starting the Session:
We’ll begin by logging into a secure video platform designed to protect your privacy. At the start of the session, I’ll check in with you—this is your time to share how you’re feeling, what’s been on your mind, or any updates since our last meeting.
Guided Discussion:
Together, we’ll explore the concerns or challenges you’re facing. I’ll listen attentively, ask questions, and provide feedback to help clarify your thoughts and feelings. Whether we’re identifying patterns, brainstorming solutions, or unpacking deeper issues, the session will focus on what’s most important to you.
Tools and Strategies:
I like to include practical takeaways in each session. These might include coping techniques for anxiety, ways to improve communication, or exercises to help manage difficult emotions. These tools are tailored to your goals and designed to support you between sessions.
Collaborative Goal-Setting:
Before wrapping up, we’ll discuss any next steps or areas you’d like to focus on in future sessions. I’ll make sure you leave with a clear sense of direction and support.
Session Wrap-Up:
The session ends with a brief reflection on what we covered, and I’ll address any remaining questions or concerns you have.
What to Bring:
A comfortable and private space where you can speak freely.
A device with a stable internet connection, a camera, and a microphone.
Any thoughts or topics you’d like to address (but don’t worry if you’re unsure—we’ll figure it out together!).
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, my goal is to make each session a safe and productive space for growth and healing.
