Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support
Melissa uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspective drive the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building self-awareness, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for coping with anxiety, depression, obsessive worry, and challenges that interfere with daily functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can be a useful complement when managing stress, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and ongoing mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Melissa will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance care with work or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of support when life changes occur. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver structured, interactive therapy that meets practical needs.
