How her approaches translate to online therapy

Melissa uses client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on what matters most to the person. This method emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborating on goals, which can fit well into live sessions whether brief check-ins or longer conversations.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear steps and homework between meetings, which can be easy to track in an online format.

EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing difficult memories and reactions. When appropriate, EMDR protocols are discussed and adapted to the pace and comfort level of each person seeking help.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what feels most helpful.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support regular check-ins, and allow clear follow-up steps between meetings. Many people find this helps therapy fit into everyday life without major disruption.
