Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Melissa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps people explore ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which is especially helpful for addictions and behavior change. When appropriate, Solution-Focused Therapy is used to clarify goals and build on existing strengths by focusing on small, achievable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa works collaboratively with each person and considers their needs, goals, and preferences when choosing methods, adjusting them over time to find what fits best.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer remote care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of support, make appointments more accessible, and offer multiple ways to engage in treatment that match a client’s comfort and lifestyle.
