How Melissa Uses Practical Approaches Online

Melissa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, anger, rumination, and some trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melissa will ask about your goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She will suggest approaches and adjust them based on your feedback so the plan fits your needs and preferences.
