Matthew Hughes, LCSW

Matthew Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah who brings five years of clinical experience to his work with adults facing emotional and psychological challenges. He views therapy as a collaborative process in which client and clinician partner to identify goals, reduce symptoms, and build practical strategies for moving forward. With a calm, solution-oriented approach, he helps people regain confidence and create sustainable patterns for day-to-day living.

He specializes in treating trauma-related symptoms and often uses Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) when working with adults who have experienced traumatic events. He also treats conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, panic and panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, and post-traumatic stress. Matthew integrates a range of clinical approaches - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy - tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Additional focus areas include forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, and self-love, with the aim of helping clients make meaningful progress toward their goals.
