About Melissa

Melissa also integrates yoga into her work when it fits a client’s goals, offering a body-aware complement to talk therapy. She emphasizes practical strategies and collaboration, supporting clients as they take steps toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.
Whether someone is coping with trauma, navigating life changes, or seeking help for substance use or relationship challenges, Melissa aims to empower clients to make sustainable shifts. Her practice combines clinical training, real-world experience, and a compassionate stance to help people move from where they are now toward a more fulfilling direction.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa combines practical, client-focused methods to support change remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own motivations and strengths to increase readiness for change, often used for substance use and behavior change goals. Mindfulness Therapy incorporates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can complement talk-based work and her background in yoga.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer to meet from home. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each individual.
