Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for tackling low mood, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people navigate life transitions, clarify values, and cope with feelings related to purpose and loss. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to experience, offering tools for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and managing compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Melissa works with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Melissa includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while accommodating work, family, and geographic constraints.
