More about Melissa

- LCMHC, LPC
I am licensed as a professional counselor in multiple states and I have been practicing for approximately 20 years. Clients who engage in treatment with me have the opportunity for self-exploration and inspection of how to make specific changes to enhance their relationships and their life in general. They are able to build real skills that are useful and applicable to their specific situation in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is commonly used in session. It's important to explore how your thoughts are ultimately influencing your behaviors and how to adjust to get different results. Together we look at pattens and inquisitively inspect why we do the things we do and figure out together how to make positive changes.
The relationship between counselor and client is of the upmost importance. I refrain from telling people what to do, but instead work side by side with clients to figure out what goals they would like to establish and work towards achieving. Participating in counseling is a huge step towards self-improvement and growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
