Matthew Daleo, LCSW

Matthew Daleo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Indiana with nine years of practice experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. He works with adults and has considerable experience supporting young people who have experienced trauma or been in foster care.

He uses attentive listening and reflective feedback during sessions. Matthew pays attention to what is happening now and what patterns from family or past experience might be getting in the way. He helps people name problems, sort priorities, and try manageable steps to reduce stress and improve daily routines.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Matthew prioritizes clear goals and small, concrete changes clients can try between meetings. He discusses communication and commitment issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, and problems that come from family patterns.

He has worked with people facing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention challenges, and traumatic stress. That background means he draws on ways to steady mood and manage impulses while addressing relationship and self-worth issues. He also supports people coping with separation, domestic violence histories, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.

Matthew asks clients to set the pace and makes collaborative plans for progress. He describes therapy as a step-by-step process where the client’s goals guide which strategies are used. People who want a pragmatic, direct style that focuses on everyday functioning often find this approach helpful.
