About

Melissa Johnson recognizes how difficult it can be to prioritize one’s own wellbeing when work, family, and relationships demand so much attention. She helps people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and supports those managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, alcohol or drug use, and other mental health concerns.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills and strategies that address immediate difficulties and promote meaningful change. She emphasizes a strengths-based process, working collaboratively to develop realistic, achievable solutions tailored to each person’s situation.

Melissa aims to build an authentic connection that fosters trust and allows for vulnerability. She views each person as the expert on their own experience and offers guidance and support as they work toward their goals, identifying unhelpful patterns and making positive changes together.

Melissa practices in Connecticut and is credentialed as CT LCSW 11948, which denotes a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has 4 years of experience. She generally responds to messages within 1 business day and typically has limited ability to reply on weekends.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, research and practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to connect in the way that feels most comfortable. All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical way to access professional support for many everyday mental health concerns.
