About Matthew
LCSW in Oklahoma with 19 years of experience, Matthew Spencer focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, self-esteem, and depression. He works directly with people facing communication problems, divorce and separation, men’s issues, and challenges around self-love. Sessions are presented as straightforward conversations aimed at clarifying problems and finding practical ways forward.
Matthew centers sessions on clear, honest discussion. He encourages clients to talk through what is happening in day-to-day life and in close relationships. Conversations include noticing patterns, practicing different ways of communicating, and setting small goals that can be tried between meetings.
He has nearly two decades working with people who describe low motivation or low confidence. That experience informs a practical focus on rebuilding routine, addressing negative self-talk, and improving how people relate to themselves and others. Depression is approached with attention to both thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck.
Matthew aims to reduce the worry that comes with conflict at home. He helps people sort what they want from relationships and parenting, and he supports clearer communication around separation or divorce. Work with men includes addressing pressures around identity, roles, and self-worth.
Initial steps include an intake conversation to identify immediate concerns and priorities. From there he and the client set pragmatic goals and check progress regularly. This approach keeps sessions focused and oriented to everyday changes that matter.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking through problems and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach centers on addressing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to low mood and depression, helping people build small routines and test different coping steps. Another approach targets communication - practicing clearer ways to express needs, listening skills, and alternative responses to repeated conflicts.Finding the right method is part of the work. Matthew treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on each person’s goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. He checks progress and shifts strategies when something isn’t helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter phone check-in is more practical. Ask about available formats when you sign up so sessions match your schedule and needs.
