About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Forbes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with nine years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career challenges, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Matt works directly with people to name what feels most difficult and to find practical next steps. He uses clear, everyday language and helps clients talk through painful feelings and confusing decisions. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client now.
Over his nine years of experience he has helped people address motivation and confidence, family of origin issues, fatherhood questions, and workplace stress. He also supports clients dealing with gender dysphoria, sexuality, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. He treats panic attacks and seasonal mood shifts among other concerns.
Matt’s approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential therapy ideas. He helps people see how thoughts affect mood and behavior, and he encourages honest reflection about values and meaning. Together he and the client consider practical changes and experiments to test new ways of coping.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the client’s life. Matt accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options to match their needs.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Matthew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and problems at work by giving practical tools to try between sessions. He also draws on existential therapy to look at values, meaning, and life direction when clients face big changes or questions about purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include trying CBT strategies for a while and introducing existential conversations when clients want to explore purpose and identity.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. They also let people in different places connect with a licensed professional when scheduling or location would otherwise be a barrier.
