About Melissa
She builds sessions around each person’s daily life and goals. Melissa listens first, then helps set simple, practical steps to reduce overwhelm. That can mean short behavioral changes, new ways to handle difficult emotions, or skills for clearer communication.
Her work draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, feelings, and present moment choices. She blends tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance-oriented methods, and skills-based strategies. She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Melissa works in both English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Her training is recorded as LMHC and LCMHC. Over the years she has supported people with grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, addiction concerns, identity and intimacy questions, and coping with big life changes.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. She helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans when life shifts. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's start process and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
