Mattracea Wendleton , LPC

Mattracea Wendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to create a calm, approachable space for people seeking a therapist they can connect with. She meets clients where they are, listening to their needs, wants, and goals while offering practical support and guidance. Many people who come to her have experienced adverse events or trauma in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood and are now coping with symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, or difficulty in relationships.

Wendleton uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with positive psychotherapy techniques, to help clients address life challenges. She tailors the type of therapy to each person based on specific needs and goals, collaborating with clients to identify the most effective strategies and skills for their situation. Her work often focuses on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and repairing or strengthening relationships.

She recognizes that life can feel overwhelming at times and that people come to therapy for different reasons - sometimes for a listening ear and sometimes to learn practical tools to manage stress. Mattracea offers encouragement and support with the intention of helping clients find greater comfort and a sense of calm as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mattracea Wendleton often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulse-related concerns. A client-centered approach emphasizes listening and responding to each person where they are, creating a collaborative environment that honors individual goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendleton works together with clients to determine which methods fit best for their needs and objectives. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively, with attention to what the client hopes to accomplish and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapy to adapt to different schedules and communication styles.
