How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Melissa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely and helping people decide what matters most to them, which is useful when sorting through relationship or family stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, addiction patterns, and daily coping strategies by teaching skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and needs change.
