Background and approach
Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods with a warm, respectful stance. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods to help people face difficult thoughts and feelings. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the person in front of her.
In sessions, Melissa helps clients sort priorities, try new coping strategies, and track what changes over time. She can introduce skills for managing anxiety, routines to support mood, and ways to process grief at a steady pace. People who prefer a collaborative, strengths-focused style often find her straightforward and empathetic.
Her aim is to support people as they test new approaches and build confidence handling life’s challenges.
Approach to Online Therapy and Treatment Options
Melissa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. ACT can be useful when avoidance or stuck patterns are getting in the way of daily life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can help with anxiety management, mood shifts, and building routines that support mental health.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to shape a shared plan. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options support brief check-ins or notes between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult.
