Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centered stance when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting those who struggle with intense emotions or relationship tensions. A client-centered approach keeps the focus on the individual's values and lived experience, ensuring sessions are empathetic and tailored to personal goals.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Melissa works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively through remote formats, and Melissa uses that flexibility to meet clients where they are.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and multiple ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care during busy periods or life transitions and provide different modes of communication to suit varied comfort levels and needs.
