Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online

Melissa Meengs draws from practical, skills-based approaches that many clients find useful for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps clients notice patterns that may be keeping them stuck and practice new ways of responding that better align with their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when feelings feel intense or hard to manage. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning to slow down, build awareness of the present moment, and relate to thoughts and emotions with more steadiness rather than getting swept up in them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adjust the focus over time as things change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and choose the style of connection that feels most comfortable.
