Matthew Laycock , LCSW, CSW

Matthew Laycock is a licensed Colorado therapist with 10 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, low self esteem, and depression. As a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW (Clinical Social Worker), he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills, restore motivation, and strengthen relationships.

Matthew approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be harnessed to overcome life’s challenges. He works collaboratively to identify patterns related to abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety, helping clients translate insight into practical change.

Seeking a more fulfilling, happier life requires courage, and Matthew offers steady support and empowerment for those first steps toward change. He creates a professional, compassionate space where clients can explore goals, practice new strategies, and build confidence at a pace that fits their needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Matthew employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. Cognitive and behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thought patterns and build alternative coping skills, which can be effective for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Attachment-focused and relational approaches attend to patterns in relationships and issues around abandonment or connection, supporting work on family dynamics, social anxiety, and lasting relational change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew partners with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making consistent care easier to schedule around work, family, and daily life. These options can increase accessibility and help clients maintain momentum between sessions while working toward meaningful goals with a licensed professional.
