About Christy
Christy Matthews welcomes people who are facing big changes, grief, overwhelming stress, or worries about relationships and self-worth. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) working from Indiana, and she brings nine years of experience to her work.
Christy focuses on helping clients sort through family tension, anxiety, addiction concerns, and mood struggles like depression and bipolar challenges. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
How Christy works
Sessions aim to be practical and steady, with a focus on clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Her style blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, listens closely to each person, and uses thinking-and-behavior strategies to change patterns that cause distress.
She also draws on mindfulness to help people calm their bodies and stay present. Christy treats each person as the expert on their life and works together with them to set goals. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused, with room for compassion and real-world problem solving.
She helps people build skills they can use between sessions. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time for session scheduling and payment arrangements.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice and change patterns rooted in attachment, especially around trust, closeness, and abandonment worries.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship. In virtual meetings this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people feel heard while they set goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT tools like thought records, behavior experiments, and skill-building translate well to online sessions for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts strategies based on what helps most.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Ask about available options when you start the process. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow focused, consistent work on practical skills between sessions.
