About Kristina

Kristina Mattingly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana with 12 years of experience. She aims to make therapy feel simple and practical so people can focus on what matters most. Her style is relaxed, supportive, and nonjudgmental.

She works to build a comfortable relationship and tailors sessions to each person’s goals. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also supports clients facing parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, sleep trouble, anger, career stress, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, blended family issues, fertility challenges, and caregiver stress. Kristina blends several practical approaches to fit each person’s needs.

She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Dialectical behavior strategies are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of her approach for trauma processing.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step progress. Kristina combines mindfulness and solution-focused work to build coping skills and short-term strategies. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making lasting changes, such as around substance use.

Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sessions are delivered in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How Kristina’s Approaches Work Online

Kristina commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for strong reactions or relationship stress.

She also uses EMDR, which focuses on processing past traumatic memories to reduce their current impact. EMDR is used when trauma is a central concern and is adapted to work in remote sessions when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristina will talk with each person about their history, needs, and goals and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and methods are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have fuller sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
