About Melissa

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 16 years of experience in Florida. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She focuses on clear, practical steps people can take between sessions. Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and change reactions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered practices to help people identify values and make workable changes.

In sessions she breaks problems into small parts and tests different responses. That could mean trying a short breathing or grounding exercise, practicing a conversation, or tracking thought patterns during the week. The aim is to find specific strategies that reduce distress and build momentum.

Melissa has worked across a wide range of concerns, including intimacy issues, parenting stress, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and blended-family questions. Her background includes helping people through life changes, grief, and recovery from domestic violence.

People who choose her often want structured tools and clear explanations. Melissa asks about current routines and goals, and then agrees on concrete steps. To begin she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach relies on practice, simple experiments, and clear steps people can try between sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage committed action when facing difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-centered methods mean sessions include open listening and space for the person's goals.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, discuss goals, and suggest methods to try. That plan can change as you test what helps and what does not, so the therapy process stays practical and goal-focused.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
