About Matthew

Matthew Laycock meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel better. He helps with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and common struggles like isolation or shame. Matthew is based in Colorado and brings ten years of social work experience to conversations with clients.

He centers sessions on the client’s own story and strengths. He believes people know their lives best and uses that knowledge to set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Matthew helps clients build confidence, find motivation, and manage overwhelming emotions one step at a time. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems going, such as attachment worries or fears of abandonment. He works with people on family conflict and social anxiety by identifying small, testable changes.

He also offers support for trauma-related symptoms and persistent guilt that can feel paralyzing. Matthew describes his role as supportive and empowering rather than directive. He partners with each person to try different strategies until something fits.

Over time clients practice new habits that replace old, painful cycles. People can expect straightforward language and practical tools during meetings. Matthew uses his background as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and a CSW to guide sessions.

He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.

Approaches to change and online care

Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, testable steps people can take. One common approach is skills-focused work that teaches emotion regulation and coping strategies for anxiety and stress, helping people manage intense feelings and reduce avoidance. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and attachment, looking at how past losses or abandonment fears shape current reactions and helping people try new ways of connecting.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life context, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust the plan if something doesn’t fit.

Online therapy with Matthew offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and chat or text can suit brief reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
