Remote care and therapeutic methods
Melissa Silva offers online options that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are intended to support flexible ways of working together so that clients can choose what fits their schedule and communication preferences. The online setting is used to establish goals, track progress, and practice skills between contacts.
Melissa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when impulsivity, anger, or intense emotions are a concern.
For trauma-related work, she incorporates EMDR to address distressing memories through structured processing. Throughout online work she emphasizes collaboration: clients and she set goals together, review what is helpful, and adjust methods over time to match each person’s needs and preferences.
