About Matthew
Matthew Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. He focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. He also works with people facing depression and related mood concerns. Matthew aims to make therapy a practical, steady process so people can move forward with clearer goals.
He uses straightforward talk therapy combined with methods that help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Sessions often include exercises drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people reconnect with the present moment without judgment.
Matthew has five years of clinical experience working with adults who have trauma histories and mood symptoms. He blends client-centered listening with focused problem-solving so people feel heard while also making tangible changes. He pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and anger and helps clients renegotiate a sense of purpose and self-worth.
In sessions he may address panic and social anxiety, work on building self-love, and support people dealing with post-traumatic stress reactions. He also helps clients examine forgiveness and move through difficult emotions that block daily functioning.
Therapy begins with a clear conversation about goals and practical steps. Matthew encourages small experiments between sessions and regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs to change.
