How Melissa Uses CBT and DBT Online

Melissa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps so people can test changes and notice results, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques help when emotions feel intense or when someone needs tools to steady reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Melissa works with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences. She will adjust the plan over time based on what is working and what feels feasible in day-to-day life.
