About

Melinda Del Rio Quinones-Miranda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon (OR LCSW L11390) who provides empathetic, individualized care for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, motivation and self-esteem challenges, depression and suicidal ideation, and major life changes. She works with clients across the lifespan and aims to support increased functioning and well-being.

Her practice is grounded in a holistic, client-centered approach that combines evidence-based therapies and somatic practices. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and offers trauma-focused work to help people process and integrate difficult memories. She also provides Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma-related symptoms.

In addition to trauma care, Melinda is a certified drug and alcohol counselor who uses a harm-reduction approach when addressing substance use. Her clinical toolkit includes behavioral therapies for anxiety such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and somatic practices to address physiological and emotional regulation.

She applies attachment theory and relational approaches when working on relationship concerns, whether in monogamous or open relationship contexts, and she integrates feedback-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s strengths and preferences. Melinda brings six years of clinical experience across settings including the criminal justice system, re-entry programs, recovery homes, youth and family homeless shelters, day treatment for adolescents, treatment court, the psychiatric security review board, and outpatient services beginning at age 11.

Her educational background includes a Master of Social Work with a focus on trauma and interpersonal violence and a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Criminology & Criminal Justice and Psychology. Melinda describes herself as a therapist of color, a female therapist, and non-religious in orientation, and she continues to pursue ongoing training to refine her practice and better support the people she works with.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions - remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical experience show that online sessions work well for a wide range of issues and can produce meaningful improvement for most people.

One major benefit is convenience - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients can change therapists if they seek a different fit. The variety of communication options and the ability to switch providers make remote therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
