How Melissa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and creates a space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace. This approach helps people who want a supportive, collaborative space to talk through challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. People often use it alongside other strategies to manage worry and emotional ups and downs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions using one or more approaches that fit. That collaboration helps make therapy more useful from the start.
