Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Melissa uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as primary approaches in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and treating the client as the expert on their own life - this approach helps people build self-esteem, explore values, and address relationship or parenting concerns. CBT concentrates on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and stress by developing practical coping skills and thought reframing techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. The partnership between client and therapist guides treatment decisions and keeps goals practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions recreate face-to-face conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins that can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, reduce travel time, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
