Christy Matthews

Christy Matthews is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing grief, family stress, and big life changes. She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and questions about identity and self-worth. Her tone is practical and compassionate, focused on small steps that make daily life easier.

Christy uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-focused listening to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of reacting. Mindfulness practices are introduced in simple ways to reduce overwhelm and increase emotional awareness.

Over nine years of practice, Christy has supported people dealing with loss, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and career transitions. She brings attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, and she helps people build new coping habits rather than rely on old ones that cause pain.

Sessions include practical tools for managing stress, communication strategies for difficult conversations, and exercises to rebuild self-esteem. When grief or hospice and end-of-life concerns are present, she helps clients name what feels important and plan steps that reflect their values.

Christy aims for a collaborative relationship. She listens without judgment, offers clear options, and checks in about what’s working. People leave sessions with small, doable actions to test between meetings.

Approaches that translate to online work

Christy often draws on attachment-focused listening and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people understand patterns and try different responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current reactions and helps people build healthier ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christy works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then suggests techniques that match those aims. This collaborative process lets people try small changes and adjust as they learn what helps.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives by removing travel time and making scheduling simpler. It can make regular check-ins and brief skill-building sessions easier to keep.
