Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Melanie integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful space where people can explore their feelings and values; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and navigating relationship or life transition issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Melanie collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She involves clients in planning and adjusts strategies as progress is made so the treatment remains personalized and effective.
