Melinda Labbe , LMHC, LPC

Melinda Labbe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. She has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, communication and conflict resolution issues, career obstacles, and concerns common to military members. Her clinical work also includes helping individuals who have experienced trauma such as sexual abuse or rape, physical trauma, and emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She draws on a blend of cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic perspectives, psychodynamic insights, and rational-emotive techniques to create a flexible, individualized plan. Dialogue and treatment are tailored to each person’s specific needs, goals, and circumstances.

Melinda recognizes that seeking help requires courage and aims to support and empower people as they move toward a more fulfilling life. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey and considers it an honor to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater well-being and personal growth.

Online therapy rooted in attachment and evidence-based methods

Melinda integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps address issues like abandonment fears, trust, and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, empathetic therapeutic relationship that encourages self-exploration and personal choice through reflective listening and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Melinda collaborates with clients to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to each person’s unique situation.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These options make it easier for people to access care from home, balance work and caregiving responsibilities, and choose the communication format that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful progress.
