Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Melanie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors and coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist supports self-discovery and personal growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and Melanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to find what works best.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to be effective in remote formats while keeping sessions focused and practical.
