01About Christy
Christy Matthews makes space for people facing big emotional challenges and life changes. She writes simply and listens carefully, helping clients untangle complicated feelings about grief, stress, relationship strain, and self-worth. Christy uses practical conversations to help people find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming.
She brings nine years of clinical experience and holds LMHC and LPCC credentials, which reflect licensure in Indiana and Ohio. Christy focuses on real-world problems like coping with loss, managing anxiety, navigating parenting concerns, and addressing substance use and burnout.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on what is worrying a person now and what helps them move forward. Her style blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, offers a steady listening presence, and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients manage intense emotions and build calm in daily life. Christy often supports those dealing with family conflict, career stress, chronic health issues, and the specific strains faced by caregivers and first responders.
She is attentive to issues like abandonment, body image, and guilt or shame, and she works with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Her approach is collaborative and practical. Christy helps people set small, achievable goals and practices they can use between sessions.
She invites clients to bring what matters most to them and to shape the work together.

04Online support
How these approaches shape online therapy
Christy commonly integrates attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change how they relate to others. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so goals come from the person’s own values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and handle stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts strategies over time based on what helps and what does not, so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining consistency and practicing new skills between meetings, and Christy will discuss how to structure sessions to match daily life and responsibilities.
