Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learn practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people managing intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, or relationship challenges. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and relationship dynamics to strengthen couples and improve conflict resolution and connection.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa works with clients to explore symptoms, values, and goals, and together they determine which techniques or combination of therapies will best support progress. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to the individual or couple’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and couples work effectively to remote formats to support meaningful therapeutic work.
