About Mattracea

Mattracea Wendleton is an LPC based in Missouri who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of relationship and life concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer a calm, compassionate presence for clients working through grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, and the burdens of guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skills.

She tailors therapy to each person using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. This mix allows her to address symptoms, process traumatic memories, and explore personal stories that shape behavior and beliefs.

Clients seeking support can expect a therapist who aims to meet them where they are, listen without judgment, and help identify realistic goals. Her Missouri LPC credential is MO LPC 2017037738, and she provides care in English.

Services are offered through several online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathic presence to explore feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many mood or stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method aimed at helping people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, and it can be integrated when past events continue to affect daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure sessions are both relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or work and to select formats that match their comfort level and schedule. These options also make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing seasons of life while still working with a licensed professional.
