Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Melissa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside a client-centered stance to tailor care to each person. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult feelings are present - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related issues. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients feel heard and can explore their priorities and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Melissa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from home or other convenient settings, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life changes or transitions.
