Christy Matthews, LMHC, LPCC

Christy Matthews is a licensed counselor who helps people facing big life changes and emotional strain. She focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship problems make daily life harder.

Christy uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens for what matters most, then helps clients try new ways of coping and communicating. Sessions often include tools for managing mood, improving relationships, and handling the strain of caregiving or chronic illness.

With nine years of clinical experience, Christy blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase focus.

Her work covers many concerns such as family conflict, parenting stress, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, body image, isolation, and end-of-life issues. Midlife transitions are a noted focus and she helps people weigh options and set new directions.

Christy holds licenses as an LMHC and an LPCC and practices in Indiana. Conversations happen in clear, everyday language aimed at making progress that fits each person’s life and goals.

Approaches that fit online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and emotions, helping people change recurring dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-based relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christy collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. Together they set goals and adjust techniques as needed so sessions match the person’s needs and preferences.
