About Allyssa
Dr. Allyssa Mattes is a licensed psychologist practicing in Indiana. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
She combines straightforward, evidence-informed methods with a calm, collaborative style. Sessions focus on skills that people can use day to day, like organizing tasks, managing overwhelm, and building steady routines. The goal is to make small changes that add up to more control and less chaos.
Background and approach
Dr. Mattes leans on cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based practices. That means she helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and build different habits while also learning ways to accept difficult feelings without getting stuck.
This mix can be useful for mood issues, panic, and social anxiety. She also draws on client-centered and dialectical strategies to keep sessions grounded and practical. That looks like listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and teaching concrete tools for emotion regulation and impulse control.
Parents and caregivers may find this approach helpful for managing stress and communication difficulties. Dr. Mattes values working together to shape each plan.
She treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and adjusts techniques to fit real-world needs. If someone wants help with focus, organization, low mood, or persistent worry, she offers guided, skills-based support to move toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Mattes commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping with problems like anxiety, low mood, and panic. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting impulsively, which can improve focus and reduce stress.She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward meaningful actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; she works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This collaborative planning helps ensure tools feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth skill teaching and face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice strategies in real time.
