How Melissa’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to you. The therapist follows your lead, helping you clarify goals and priorities so sessions feel personally relevant.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers straightforward tools to test negative thinking and build coping habits for anxiety, anger, or mood changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills add practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful when strong feelings make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa will work jointly with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than assuming one way is best.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also be helpful when someone prefers working from their usual routine while practicing new skills between sessions.
