About Allyssa
Dr. Allyssa Mattes is a licensed psychologist practicing in Indiana. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
She aims to make therapy understandable and useful for busy people. Her work emphasizes practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. Sessions typically include skill building for mood and anxiety, problem solving for organizational challenges, and ways to reduce overwhelm related to caregiving and parenting.
Background and approach
She also addresses social isolation, motivation, and panic symptoms. Dr. Mattes respects each person's knowledge about their life.
She collaborates to build a plan that fits daily routines and realistic goals. That might mean short exercises, behavior changes, or new ways to manage strong emotions. Her background includes clinical psychology and neuropsychology-related practice in health settings.
Over six years she has supported people facing chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability, and other complex needs alongside mood and anxiety concerns. This gives her experience balancing medical and emotional factors. In session she leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered approaches, and mindfulness tools when they suit the situation.
The result is a straightforward, flexible process that aims to improve day-to-day functioning and confidence. Parents who are juggling responsibilities often find the focus on practical skills helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for parents
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity when anxiety or low mood get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns that maintain problems and then practicing concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and help with organization and executive challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and day-to-day reality. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging provide brief support and tools between sessions or when typing is more convenient. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and other busy routines.
