About Melissa

Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that cause pain. Sessions often involve storytelling and looking at life events in new ways.
Clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings. Melissa uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and from Client-Centered techniques to provide a warm, respectful space.
Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical skills are used when useful for mood, behavior, and emotion regulation. She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting stress, workplace strain, and identity questions like LGBT matters. Melissa also addresses trauma-related concerns, abandonment, caregiving stress, and body image.
Therapy can include short-term skills work or longer-term exploration depending on what the person needs. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Melissa works with each person to set goals and track progress over time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Melissa often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives, which can reduce blame and open new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common approach she uses to clarify values and practice small actions that align with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy provides the tone for sessions, focusing on a respectful, empathic relationship where the person leads the pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will discuss options based on a person's goals, concerns, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video allows conversation similar to in-person meetings. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
