Remote care and therapeutic approach
Melissa offers online sessions that combine a client-centered stance with structured skill development. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Client-Centered Therapy underpins these methods by prioritizing the person’s perspective and goals.
Work is collaborative: Melissa and the person seeking support set priorities together, choosing when to focus on skills training, problem solving, motivational dialogue, or short-term solution-focused techniques. This flexible mix is intended to match different preferences for hands-on strategy work or more exploratory conversation.
Online appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those formats allow discussion of goals, practice of coping strategies between sessions, and ongoing check-ins in the communication style that best fits each individual.
