Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I’m so happy that you reached out for help. I’m glad that you have been paired with me! Let me first share a little about myself.
My name is Melva. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wife, mother, and a multi-pet owner. It is my goal to work with each and every client on their own personal journey of self discovery. My counseling style is pretty laid back yet professional. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I’m here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help.

Many people ask whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and to work toward personal goals.
