Online support options
How Melissa’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical steps that change how someone reacts. It often helps with mood disorders, stress, and anxiety by teaching specific skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Sessions are collaborative and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to meet. Video calls work well for deep conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share shorter updates or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping a steady course toward goals.
