About Mattracea
Mattracea Wendleton is an LPC who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on creating a calm, comfortable space for conversation and problem solving. Many who come to her have dealt with trauma, addiction, relationship pain, or struggles with self-worth and purpose.
In sessions she listens first and then works alongside the person to decide the best way forward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy depending on needs. Those approaches guide practical steps like shifting unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and processing painful memories.
She supports people coping with grief, parenting stress, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and codependency. She also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, infidelity, isolation, and substance use concerns.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Conversations are paced to match what each person can handle, with room for both short-term coping and deeper work. She encourages realistic goals and small changes that add up.
Mattracea brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice in Missouri. She speaks English and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. To begin, people are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and letting the person set the pace and topics; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a safe space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical strategies to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches clear coping skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, keep shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows people to focus on skill practice, thought tracking, and trauma processing from wherever scheduling works best for them. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to an online setting to keep sessions focused and goal oriented.Areas of expertise
