About Mattracea
Mattracea Wendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and money and financial issues. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who want to be heard and understood. Many clients come with trauma, relationship strain, or struggles with substance use and self-worth. She aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical.
Mattracea focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversation. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Her work often includes tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to handle intense feelings and improve daily routines.
She also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to help people tell their stories and find new meaning. For trauma-related concerns she may integrate EMDR techniques alongside trauma-focused methods when appropriate to the person's needs.
Her style is collaborative and steady. Sessions aim to identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problems with impulse control and addiction. Together, she and the client build practical steps for change, from managing mood to addressing money-related stress.
With seven years of experience and a Missouri LPC credential, Mattracea supports people through life transitions, grief, parenting challenges, and career crossroads. She encourages a straightforward approach to coping skills and gradual progress that fits daily life.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making the person feel understood. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills; it can be useful when strong emotions or impulsivity are a concern.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and problem-solving, then adding skill work or trauma-focused techniques over time.
Because the therapist's listed session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making short check-ins possible, and allowing sessions to occur during breaks from work or between other commitments. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and session length so therapy fits your routine.
