About Melissa
Melissa approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she works collaboratively to shape conversations and treatment plans that reflect individual needs. She is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - and in Prolonged Exposure techniques used in trauma-focused work, which inform her practice with clients facing emotional dysregulation and traumatic stress.
Recognizing that seeking support takes courage, Melissa aims to be a steady source of guidance and encouragement. She works part time and asks that potential clients communicate any specific scheduling needs so she can explore options to accommodate them. Her practice emphasizes a tailored, person-centered process that supports clients as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical strategies for coping and problem solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Trauma-Focused Therapy includes approaches such as prolonged exposure and other methods aimed at processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. These methods help people gradually work through traumatic memories while building coping resources.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will help explore options and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible.
