Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support
Melissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and topics of work; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust in the therapeutic relationship. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic coping, and to develop concrete skills for change. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients are weighing change or struggling with ambivalence, offering a collaborative way to clarify values and strengthen personal motivation for goals like recovery or healthier habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, achievable steps toward well-being.
