About Melanie
Melanie Mullins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in New York. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD among her areas of focus.
She uses a structured approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions involve identifying patterns, testing new responses, and building small, practical skills that can be used between meetings. Melanie emphasizes clear steps over long explanations so clients leave with something to try.
Her work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. ACT is used when someone wants to accept difficult feelings while still moving toward values-based goals. Client-Centered methods mean sessions attend to how each person prefers to think and talk about concerns.
Melanie says the therapy relationship itself matters and that listening without judgment helps people get to practical change. She aims to help clients find areas where they have control and to create strategies that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes practice under New York LMHC and Connecticut LPC credentials. Sessions are conducted in English and Melanie does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches map to online work
Melanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. ACT emphasizes noticing feelings while taking steps that align with personal values, which can help with grief, stress, and motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical, then recommend techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as you try different strategies and see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can assign brief exercises to practice between visits and review progress in the next meeting, which keeps work concrete and focused on everyday changes.
