Melissa Robles LPC

Melissa Robles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has five years of experience in mental health work across schools, short-term inpatient hospitals, clinics, and agency settings. Her approach is warm and approachable, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first conversation.

She has supported people through trauma, sexual assault and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She has aided those coping with relationship strain, career stress, parenting challenges, postpartum depression, and eating or body-image concerns. Melissa has led both individual therapy and group work in a range of clinical environments.

Her style is inviting and flexible. She prioritizes building trust so clients can speak openly. Melissa blends several methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed technique.

Melissa often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses trauma-focused and psychodynamic elements when past experiences are shaping current struggles. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.

She says laughter can be part of healing and keeps a multicultural lens in mind when listening and planning care. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches that adapt to online care

Melissa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teach practical skills for coping with anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress. CBT sessions focus on clear steps and homework to practice between meetings.

She also integrates trauma-focused therapy when past events are affecting daily life, helping people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Solution-focused therapy is used to set achievable short-term goals and track small wins toward larger changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.
