About Melissa
Melissa focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties coping with life changes. She collaborates with clients to set meaningful goals and build individualized plans to move toward those goals, combining practical strategies with an emphasis on each person’s strengths. Melissa views clients as the experts of their own stories and seeks to empower them to use their existing resources to address challenges.

Approaches and Online Options for Collaborative Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of Melissa’s work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Coaching and collaborative goal-setting are also key elements of her practice - this approach helps clients clarify priorities, set realistic steps, and build skills to manage life transitions and daily challenges.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the treatment process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the plan feels achievable and aligned with the client’s values.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Clients can meet via video calls or phone sessions for in-depth conversations, or use live chat and text-based messaging for more immediate check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while accommodating different schedules and communication preferences.
