Evidence-Informed Strategies, Delivered Online
Dean Melrose draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps clients identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practice more workable responses. CBT can be especially helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with major life transitions.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady focus on what matters most to the client. This approach can be a strong fit for people who want a supportive place to sort through relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, grief, or questions about identity and life direction. Motivational Interviewing may be incorporated as well, helping clients explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, including around habits or addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dean works collaboratively, checking in about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful so sessions can stay aligned with the client’s needs over time.
