Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where clients are treated with empathy and respect - this approach emphasizes listening, reflecting the client's perspective, and building on personal strengths to address concerns like self-esteem and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and skills-focused, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on how a client responds and what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or elsewhere, allow for more consistent scheduling, and provide multiple ways to engage with therapists and licensed professionals based on individual comfort and lifestyle.
