About Mattracea
Mattracea Wendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career or life changes. Many clients seek help for relationship concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps that feel doable.
How Mattracea works
Mattracea uses plain language and short-term goals so progress is clear and trackable. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Narrative Therapy. She matches methods to the person’s needs, whether that means skills for emotion regulation, reworking unhelpful thinking, or addressing past traumatic events.
In a session she encourages honest talk about difficult feelings like shame, guilt, or anger. She helps people practice new ways of communicating and managing impulses. For addiction and compulsive behaviors the focus is on small, sustainable changes and coping strategies.
Mattracea brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to create calm and practical therapy that fits into a busy life, and she guides each person toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

Online support options
How her approaches work online
Mattracea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in online work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing new, healthier habits. It helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems by giving concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge tied to past events.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable, then recommend a starting approach. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to try skills work, narrative exercises, or trauma-focused methods.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and full session work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while using the methods that best fit the person’s needs.
