About Allyssa

Dr. Allyssa Mattes uses evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She is a licensed psychologist in Indiana who draws on six years of clinical work.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make sessions practical and grounded for busy adults. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Sessions focus on clear skills you can use at home, such as handling overwhelm, organizing tasks, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative - she listens to what matters most and tailors the plan around those goals. Her background includes training in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, and she brings that perspective to cases involving attention difficulties, mood concerns, and cognitive challenges after injury or illness.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress and issues tied to disability or chronic health problems. Common topics include boosting self-esteem, managing panic and social anxiety, and improving communication. Dr.

Mattes uses structured methods like behavioral experiments and mindfulness practices to build lasting skills. Therapy sessions may use short practical exercises, goal setting, and repeated skill practice between meetings. She emphasizes steady progress and clear next steps so clients know what to try between sessions.

The overall aim is better daily functioning and increased confidence in handling life’s demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits through structured practice and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and help choose or combine strategies that fit your situation and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made or needs change.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to maintain continuity when life gets busy. Many people find the variety of online options helps them stay consistent with treatment while balancing family and work demands.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
