About Matthew

Matthew Mobley is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 26 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and life changes. He emphasizes a respectful, hopeful stance and encourages each person to draw on their own strengths.

Matthew uses a narrative outlook that treats people as authors of their lives rather than as passive subjects.

Background and approach

He listens for the stories that shape how someone sees themselves and their options. That helps him and the client notice patterns that feel stuck and imagine different ways forward. His work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas.

Those approaches support learning practical skills for handling difficult thoughts and emotions and improving close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods are available when practical, problem-focused work is helpful. Sessions are conversational and straightforward.

Matthew aims to make time to clarify what matters most and to set small, doable steps toward change. He blends gentle challenge with steady support so progress can feel realistic and meaningful. People who choose him often want a clear plan and room to tell their story.

He acknowledges the courage it takes to begin and focuses on helping clients find workable paths through hard moments.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Matthew directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Online approaches and how they help

Matthew draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce repeating patterns and open new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to teach simple tools for noticing thoughts and feelings, identifying values, and taking committed action even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based ideas are brought into work around close relationships to strengthen connection and improve communication when early patterns interfere with present bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Matthew will collaborate with each person to test what fits best based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That means trying different techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method will solve everything.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close and visual, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel while still focusing on the goals discussed in session.
