About Melissa
Her work emphasizes support for those taking the often difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She meets clients where they are, helping them build on existing strengths to address anxiety, depression, grief, family and relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career stress, and other life transitions. Melissa frames therapy as a collaborative process - offering guidance, practical strategies, and encouragement while honoring the client’s goals and values.
As an LPC, Melissa focuses on practical tools and compassionate listening to promote progress over time. She supports individuals through motivation to change, skill-building for coping, and solution-focused planning so clients can move forward with greater confidence and stability.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the client’s own goals, helping people gain insight and confidence as they work through challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when helping clients address addictions and ambivalence about change, using respectful conversation to strengthen motivation and commitment to goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor strategies to the individual, adjusting pace and techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Melissa can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, effective care.
