Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot thinking patterns that cause distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-driven actions. Sessions are collaborative and shaped to fit the client's needs.
Melissa adapts pace and goals so progress feels realistic and practical. She pays attention to issues such as grief, caregiver stress, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and work-related pressure. Her approach avoids labels and focuses on what helps in day-to-day life.
Clients can expect clear explanations, homework when helpful, and a focus on small changes that add up. Melissa frames therapy as a partnership aimed at building coping skills and better routines. Melissa holds an LPC license in Pennsylvania (PA LPC PC010380) and conducts work in English.
She supports people navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, mood challenges, and compassion fatigue.
How Melissa’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels overwhelmed by worry, grief, or low mood and wants clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behavior in small steps. This approach is practical for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating problems, and stress that interferes with daily routines.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and goals. This style supports people who need a steady, accepting space to work through emotions like grief, shame, or loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist together decide which methods to keep using over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, parenting, and busy schedules. They also make it easier to maintain momentum between meetings with messaging and short check-ins when needed.
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.
