Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth and Support
Melissa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and explore their own strengths and values; this approach supports people who need validation, active listening, and a collaborative pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and attention difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship challenges, intense emotions, and coping with life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Melissa works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time, adjusting focus and strategies as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Melissa is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to access consistent care, receive timely support between sessions, and engage in therapy from a setting that feels comfortable and convenient.
