Melissa Hummelt

Melissa Hummelt emphasizes the importance of the relationship created in therapy, viewing a trusting, collaborative connection as central to making productive use of sessions and supporting meaningful change.

She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marquette University and is licensed to practice counseling in both Wisconsin and California - a Wisconsin Licensed Professional Counselor (WI LPC 6346-125) and a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (CA LPCC 8853).

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, Melissa has worked with a wide range of people and has been meeting with clients online for the past 9 years. She supports individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, life transitions, addictive behaviors, family conflicts, grief, intimacy and parenting issues, anger management, self-esteem and career difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Her work is primarily grounded in a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) framework, focusing on collaborative problem-solving to understand and shift the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that interfere with well-being. She also integrates mindfulness, psychodynamic insights, and other evidence-informed skills to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and preferences.

Prior clients have shared that they find her warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental. Melissa looks forward to the opportunity to work together and to support clients in building more meaningful lives and relationships.
