Approaches That Guide Online Care
Melanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills and problem-solving techniques. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - approaches that can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by helping clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward a meaningful life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melanie works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques from these models so treatment feels personally relevant and useful.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to access consistent care, try different communication formats, and maintain continuity of support across changing circumstances.
