About Matthew
Matthew Jensen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. He works with individuals coping with trauma and abuse, and he supports people struggling with self esteem, confidence and major life changes. He uses a strengths-based approach and believes clients are the experts in their own stories.
Taking the first step can be hard and he recognises the courage it takes to begin. Matthew has five years of professional experience in Australia and holds AASW, the Australian Association of Social Workers credential.
How Matthew works
In sessions he focuses on practical steps that match each person’s situation. Conversations centre on what is happening now and what might help in daily life. He encourages people to build on existing strengths and to try small, manageable changes.
Matthew aims for clear, direct talk rather than jargon. He also helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to practise new ways of coping. Sessions are designed to feel collaborative.
Matthew listens, offers observations, and works with clients to set realistic goals. He supports people through setbacks and celebrates progress along the way. If someone is unsure what to expect, Matthew suggests a short initial conversation to see if his style fits.
He reminds people that starting therapy is a step worth recognising and that progress often comes from steady effort.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. For example, structured problem-solving helps break large worries into manageable steps and supports people working through stress and life changes. Another common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioural experiments to test new ways of responding to anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed during the work.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to continue sessions around life changes while still working on practical skills and steady progress.
