About Melissa
Melissa Rohrbach is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns like substance use, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting-related strain. She also addresses issues such as relationship conflict, grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career-related stress.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions look at current problems and habits, and try practical steps to make daily life easier. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered conversations and other methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses.
Melissa offers help for people dealing with addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. She supports those navigating adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and recovery after domestic violence or infidelity. She also helps with impulse control, codependency, and emotional regulation problems such as anger or guilt.
In sessions she mixes short-term problem-solving with deeper processing when needed. That can mean working on coping skills, practicing new communication approaches, or applying mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. EMDR may be used for trauma-focused work alongside motivational interviewing for readiness and change.
Her practice is practical and action-oriented. People who want clear strategies and measurable steps to manage symptoms or make life adjustments tend to fit this style. Sessions are conducted in English in Missouri with an LPC credential noted as MO LPC.
How Melissa applies practical therapies in online sessions
Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and routines that keep problems going, then tries specific experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many stress-related concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the conversation focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences rather than the therapist directing every step. EMDR is available as a trauma-focused option to process distressing memories when that approach fits a client’s needs.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match stated goals, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus on short-term skills, trauma processing, or a mix of methods.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, follow-up work between meetings, or to continue care when life requires flexibility.
