About Matthew
Matthew Mobley is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 26 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, parenting strains, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He approaches each person with respect and a focus on their strengths.
Taking the first step can be hard, and he aims to make that step easier. Matthew combines several approaches rather than using only one method.
Background and approach
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered principles. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. He works with clients to set clear goals and build skills that fit daily life.
His style emphasizes empathy and listening first. He encourages people to notice what matters to them and to try small, workable changes. Sessions often include discussion, skill practice, and ways to handle intense feelings when they come up.
The focus is on what helps right now and what supports long-term change. Matthew has worked across many settings during his career and brings that experience into each session. He treats concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and blended family challenges.
He respects each person's story and helps them find steps forward. People will find a straightforward, patient approach that centers their goals and lived experience. He invites clients to tell their story, set practical goals, and try methods that fit their life and values.
How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, panic, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be helpful with intense mood swings or anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then work together to try methods that seem like a good fit. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is low or a quieter option is needed, live chat can serve as a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection or brief coaching between sessions. These options help people fit care into work, family, and daily life without long commutes.
