How Melanie works
Sessions typically include setting small, achievable goals and practicing new ways of coping between meetings. She approaches problem solving in ways that are straightforward and easy to try. Her work includes support for grief and loss, relationship concerns, parenting stress, sleeping problems, anger, and career transitions.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone is stuck worrying or avoiding things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about change, which can help with addiction, behavior change, and low motivation.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Melanie will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so treatment stays focused and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing check-ins. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping care consistent.
