About Miles
Dr. Miles Matise uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, grief, addiction, or relationship strains. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and brings 22 years of counseling experience in Texas to his work.
He aims to help people increase coping skills and restore better daily functioning. He favors clear, goal-focused conversations that help a person understand what’s keeping them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, mood management, and skills practice for anxiety or depression. For trauma and grief he may use methods that target painful memories and reduce their emotional hold. Matise draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs.
He blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and other modalities to address addiction, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and career concerns. He also supports people coping with life transitions and compassion fatigue. His background includes long experience with aging and geriatric issues and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
He can include spiritually-attuned work when a client wants that perspective and may use prayer at the client’s request. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. People who want practical steps, clearer thinking, and steadier emotional regulation often find this approach useful.
Dr. Matise works with adults on problems like family stress, trauma and abuse, and recovery from addiction.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood; it helps with stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem by centering the client’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses specific exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new concerns emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat suits focused exchanges, and text messaging helps with ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care across locations.
