Dr. Melissa Rosson

Dr. Melissa Rosson is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or relationship struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and honest conversation. She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. She also helps people facing grief, trauma, career shifts, parenting challenges, and life changes.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In plain terms, that means clients learn tools for managing difficult feelings, noticing what matters to them, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dr. Rosson tailors the conversation and plan to each person. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the work. Practical steps, clear goals, and steady support are part of how she helps people move forward.

She holds a Master of Education in Counseling and Personnel Services and a PhD in General Psychology, and uses those backgrounds to guide evidence-informed care. If you want to see whether her style fits your situation, the first step is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and arrange a session.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and anger when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. The Gottman Method targets relationship patterns and communication, offering concrete exercises to improve interaction and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in between appointments when needed. It also lets people use video or other convenient means depending on what suits them that day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and skills training to an online setting so clients keep moving toward their goals.
