About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Forbes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with nine years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions, and he often supports clients working on motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
Matt aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings. He emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Seeking change can feel daunting, and he focuses on meeting people where they are in that process.
In sessions he uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns that get in the way. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. He also uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning, values, and purpose when life feels uncertain.
Matt has worked with clients on LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting questions, and career or workplace stress. He also addresses shame, guilt, isolation, and fatherhood issues when they come up in therapy.
People can expect a practical, collaborative approach that balances talking through feelings with actionable tools. He encourages small, doable changes that build confidence over time. To begin, visitors use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
