About me
My name is Matthew Johnson III, LCSW BACS. I have been a social worker for 24 years. I've been an LCSW for 20 year. My experiences are in addictions and bereavement, which help me to work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Trauma, and family issues. My approach is a client centered approach, and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with a process oriented clinical environment to allow you to feel comfortable expressing your feelings, having your thoughts and feelings validated and then getting constructive feedback, by working collaboratively with you to help you resolve your current struggles. Our sessions will also help you to grow emotionally by learning to process your negative feelings appropriately, learn better coping strategies to help you thrive and most importantly to help you in your the process of transformation. This is becoming the person that you want to be. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. As you learn to change how you think, feel and act, you will change yourself and hence change your world for the better. I look forward to working with you to help accomplish your life goals.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Matthew Johnson, III. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
He makes me feel like he’s actually relating to what Im expressing. That makes it much more easier to open to him. He’s most definitely not biased. He's attentive to both me and my wife’s concerns and gives great advice!
Working with Matt has been an excellent experience! He is excellent at helping my wife and I work through different situations and always gives amazing guidance and advice. I have throughly enjoyed every session.
Matt takes the time to listen and offer suggestions and support without making me feel like he’s judging or pointing fingers. He gives us some very eye opening concepts to consider and always has feedback for us to work on between sessions. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for help.
We just started with Matt, but he seems to have a knowledge base & personality that inspires hope in me that he can he can help us mend our relationship issues.
Mr. Johnson has the expertise to support me through my difficult time. He had the life experience, temperament, and calm approach that I need.
I have had many experiences with different counselors over the years and Matt has completely blown all of the others out of the water… My husband and I were at a fragile point in our marriage when we decided to pursue counseling and Matt has been a Godsend!
We wanted someone impartial, relatable, knowledgeable & personable…. Someone who understood where each of us were coming from and also helped us “decode” our communication - which could have destroyed our marriage. Matt may never know exactly how big of an impact he’s had, but our family is forever changed for the positive- we even communicate better with others because of his insight… Thanks Matt - for being at the right place at just the right time…
He is great at his expertise ! Super kind, relatable, and respectful!! 10/10 helped our relationship struggles !!
Matthew is empathetic, down to earth and very responsive. During marriage counseling, he is equitable and calls it like he sees or hears it. Couples must be open and receptive to his guidance. He also provides realistic solutions/ideas to help strengthen a marriage.
From our first session with Matt we knew that we found the right person for us.
Matthew has been instrumental in my wife and I’s improvement in our marriage. Without his advice and guidance I am not sure if we would be where we are right now. Highly recommend him and appreciate everything he has done for us.
My husband and I have been seeing Matthew for about 6 months now and we have seen a tremendous improvement in our relationship. Thanks Matthew!
Matt is very supportive of us as a couple and as individuals. Highly recommend.
Matthew has helped me and my husband understand ourselves better and how to better communicate with each other! I am so thankful we were matched with him!
He is a great realistic down to earth person. And see things from both points of view
Matt zeroed in the best way for my partner and I to reconnect. He was kind, warm and funny! He is genuine and comes through every session we had. We appreciate having Matt as our therapist to support our journey. Matt listens and truly cares.
Love how down your earth , relatable and guy next door Matthew is . We appreciate his advice and how he can make it relatable to both parties .
We are with Matthew for a couple of month now and I feel confident with trusting Matthew our marriage. I feel and see changes in myself after sessions and homework. Matthew has a very good and sharp understanding of both sides, no need for long time consuming explanations. Very experienced and responsive therapist. I was impressed how he always found the right way to respond and right thing for us to work on. I appreciate Matthew's and ability to inspire, give a bigger picture, be there for us.
Great therapist.
