About Mattracea
Mattracea Wendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. She focuses on building a calm, steady connection so people feel heard and understood from the first session. Her approach aims to make small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning and clearer thinking.
Many people who meet with her have faced difficult or painful experiences at different life stages. She offers practical ways to reduce overwhelming feelings like panic, worry, shame, or low self-worth.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, relationship struggles, or career and life transitions. Mattracea uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with patterns of thought and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and narrative-style work can be used for processing past hurts. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.
She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. Expect practical tools you can try between sessions and regular check-ins on progress. She has seven years of counseling experience and works with adults in Missouri.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the work toward their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and reducing impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins, journaling-style updates, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or a busy schedule.
