Christy Matthews, LMHC, LPCC - Therapist in Indiana

About Christy

Christy Matthews is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage family stress, grief, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what matters most and start practical steps forward. Christy aims to make therapy feel like a clear conversation rather than a lecture.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions often include looking at how attachment and past relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices help ground people when anxiety or grief surge. Christy works with issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

She also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, career stress, and complicated life transitions. Parenting challenges and forgiveness or guilt issues are commonly addressed in her work. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

She helps clients set small, achievable goals and practices real skills between sessions. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more steady and able to make decisions that match their values. Christy brings nine years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC and LPCC credentials.

She is licensed in Indiana and Ohio and offers work in English. Readers who want to explore whether she is a good fit are invited to start a brief matching process before scheduling.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people see why certain triggers feel intense and learn new ways to connect and trust. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's pace and priorities, offering a respectful space to talk things through and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and practices alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. This may mean blending approaches over time so the work stays practical and relevant. Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also let people choose shorter or longer sessions depending on needs, and offer options for sessions that do not require video when that is helpful. Licensed professionals tailor session length and focus to each person, helping clients build useful skills and steady momentum.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
