About Mattracea
Mattracea Wendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and respected before moving toward change. She listens for what matters to each person and starts there.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Conversations may include talking through difficult memories, building coping skills for anxiety, or finding new ways to handle parenting strain.
Background and approach
Mattracea uses therapies that match the client’s needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thinking patterns and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. She also uses narrative approaches and trauma-focused work when past events are affecting current life. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative.
She helps people identify small, usable changes they can try between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple ways so clients can see what’s working and what needs adjusting. With seven years of counseling experience, Mattracea brings steady support to people facing life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, ADHD and burnout.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches for online work and flexible care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the client leads the pace of change; this helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through parenting stress or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical habits and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for impulse control, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life. Treatment can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so it remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.
