Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Melissa integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration to help clients explore their values and build self-understanding, often benefitting those struggling with self-esteem, identity, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering practical tools for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Melissa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain consistency even when in-person visits are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals committed to meaningful progress.
