Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Melinda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy into her practice. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors by focusing on present patterns and practical skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools to manage intense emotions and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients’ strengths and short-term goals, helping to create clear, achievable steps toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melinda collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor techniques that fit the client’s life. This collaborative approach helps ensure the methods used align with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity after life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver structured, goal-oriented care that works with each client’s routine.
