As an LPC, she is trained and credentialed to provide psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and groups. Her work centers on supporting people and families affected by substance use disorders and a range of mental health concerns.

Melissa’s approach emphasizes personal growth and the development of interpersonal skills, helping clients better understand their own strengths and patterns. She offers individual, couples, and group psychotherapy designed to help people recognize the uniqueness of their personalities and explore new ways to reach their potential. Her clinical focus includes trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting and family dynamics, anxiety and stress, grief and relationship issues, and related areas such as intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, and caregiver strain.

Melissa is experienced in helping clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed by life transitions, or challenged by ongoing stressors to find practical strategies and new perspectives. She combines empathy with evidence-informed methods to support clients’ goals and encourages anyone struggling with adjustment or change to reach out and learn more about working together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Melissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of change while the therapist offers empathy and support - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, goal-oriented method that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and coping challenges. Additionally, Melissa offers EMDR, a trauma-focused approach used to help people process distressing memories and move toward integration of difficult experiences.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Melissa works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach care from home or work. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy, helping maintain continuity of support while addressing access and scheduling challenges.
