How her approaches translate to online work
Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT sessions often include short exercises, practical homework, and step-by-step skill practice to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's experience in the room. This involves open listening and shaping the pace and goals around what feels most pressing to the client. EMDR may be offered as a tool to address distressing memories when it fits the person's goals and history.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on stated needs and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time as progress is observed.
