About
Melissa Romain, LISW, brings 15 years of clinical experience to her Ohio practice. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family challenges, substance use, and parenting concerns. Her scope also includes attention to ADHD, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Melissa has experience in both outpatient counseling and residential treatment settings and draws on that range when helping people explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.
Her therapeutic stance is strengths based and client centered. She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and uses psychodynamic and attachment-informed ideas alongside solution-focused and mindfulness practices to support insight and skill building. Melissa values collaboration: she partners with individuals to identify goals, experiment with practical strategies, and reflect on patterns that influence daily decisions. Outside of clinical work she has ties to graduate training and maintains an interest in movement and fitness as part of self care. She offers weekday and limited weekend hours and invites prospective clients to learn more about working together.

Online sessions with a strengths-based focus
Melissa integrates several clinical approaches into teletherapy, including attachment-based work, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused methods. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in relationships and early bonds to help clarify why certain emotional reactions and expectations arise. Mindfulness techniques support present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress and strong emotions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses symptoms and memories linked to past traumatic events with care and structure.
These approaches are offered in a collaborative manner: Melissa works with each person to set goals, select strategies that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time. Sessions emphasize skill development, insight into recurring patterns, and steps people can take between meetings. Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
