Online sessions with practical skills and collaborative care
Melinda integrates Adlerian ideas with skills-based therapies to create a collaborative online therapy experience. Adlerian theory frames concerns in the context of goals, relationships, and a person’s sense of belonging, which can help clients explore how current patterns developed and what meaningful next steps might look like.She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety, then works with clients to build concrete strategies for change. DBT skills are offered for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, with an emphasis on practicing techniques that fit into daily life. Motivational interviewing principles are woven in to support shifts when ambivalence exists.
Online appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility is intended to let clients choose how they prefer to connect while collaborating on treatment goals, skill practice, and action plans that align with each person’s needs.
