About Melissa
Melissa Campos offers direct, practical support for people juggling stress, anxiety, parenting and life changes. She creates a calm space to talk through immediate struggles and figure out small steps that make life feel more manageable. Melissa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC with 16 years of experience.
She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults in Florida.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools you can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take committed steps toward those values. Melissa also uses client-centered principles to make sure each person feels heard and respected during the process. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates EMDR when appropriate to help process distressing memories.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be used to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Over her career she has supported people with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Melissa adapts methods to fit each person’s pace and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical matters are offered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Melissa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions that fit their availability.
How Melissa Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when emotions feel hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa talks with each person about their goals and symptoms, then suggests methods to try together. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats let people connect from home, follow up between sessions, and pick the way of communicating that feels most helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to work effectively in remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical change and coping skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
