She also uses EMDR when past events are getting in the way of present life.

Melissa also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, loneliness, guilt, shame, and difficulties after separation or divorce. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish. Melissa aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on measurable steps you can take between meetings.

Approaches that fit online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist creates a respectful space and follows your lead, helping you name what matters and decide next steps. This approach helps when you want someone to reflect back what you are feeling and help you sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. The therapist helps you spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes to see what shifts. This is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect daily routines.
EMDR addresses memories and reactions that keep showing up in daily life. When past events continue to affect mood or relationships, EMDR offers a structured way to process those memories over sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you mirror in-person conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low, live chat and text let you check in between sessions or have shorter focused conversations. These options provide flexibility so you can choose what feels most practical for you.
