About Charles

Charles "Matt" Cox is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and related life challenges by combining practical, skills-based work with a person-centered attitude.

Background and approach

He has particular experience with co-occurring disorders and substance use concerns, and he also supports clients navigating relationship strain, grief, parenting questions, intimacy issues, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Matt draws from client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation.

He adapts his methods to match each individual’s needs rather than relying on a single formula, and he partners with clients to set goals and measure progress.

Sessions are available through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and he encourages prospective clients to reach out and explore whether his style aligns with their goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches concrete skills to challenge and change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for the client's perspective, creating space for people to explore goals and values at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational method designed to strengthen a person’s motivation and commitment to change, especially useful for substance use and habit-related concerns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting methods over time so sessions remain relevant and practical for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain consistency. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured CBT exercises, reflective client-centered conversations, and motivational techniques across formats, helping clients access support in ways that match their routine and comfort level.
