About Melissa

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial worries. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of clinical experience to conversations that matter. Melissa focuses on short, clear goals and practical steps so people can start feeling steadier sooner.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients can talk through what feels hardest. Sessions center on the client’s priorities and use straightforward tools rather than jargon. Melissa aims to help people build skills that fit their daily life.

She draws on a mix of well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies. Melissa also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding, and she includes trauma-focused work when needed. These approaches guide how she shapes each session according to what a person needs right now.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Melissa also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment, blended family questions, caregiving stress, and recovery from domestic violence.

People can expect practical steps, skill-building, and empathy in sessions. She encourages honest conversation about goals and adjusts strategies as progress is made. To begin, clients complete an intake and schedule sessions that match their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thought and behavior patterns and teaches tools to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed approach that targets painful memories and the distress they cause; it can be part of work on trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is tracked and priorities shift.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep brief check-ins between in-depth visits. It also lets people use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused methods from wherever they are located in Florida. Ask about language options, pacing, and whether particular techniques are offered in Spanish or English when you schedule.
