Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and topics of work; this approach helps people who need support building on their own strengths and gaining clarity about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, stress, or mood changes. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to explore and strengthen a person's own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens carefully to each person’s priorities and adapts techniques to match what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with Melissa offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access support from home. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care, choose the format that feels comfortable, and schedule sessions in ways that support consistent progress.
