Melanie has done a great job of asking questions, offering up solutions and making recommendations. This format of online communication is good because it gives me a record to review my thoughts as well as the responses.

Melanie is absolutely wonderful! I appreciate her wisdom, honesty, and positivity. I have never had a counselor that is more spot on with explaining my feelings. I'm not ashamed to be honest with her because I know that she will not judge me. I cannot thank her enough!

More about Melanie

  • LMHC

I believe the goal when working with a client is to help them achieve a sense of well-being that permeates every area of their lives - physical, mental and emotional. My counseling style is solution focused which enables my clients to begin using the tools learned in therapy immediately for rapid results. I help clients to reframe their thinking, untangle disordered or unhelpful patterns of thought, and achieve mental clarity. We discuss physical concerns and explore new and healthier patterns of behavior. Together, we set goals that reflect their highest selves, and celebrate each and every success along the way, resulting in a client who is healthy in their mind, body and soul.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I offer an all-natural approach to healing that assists clients in overcoming emotional struggles, undesirable behaviors, and disorders of the brain. I incorporate effective strategies from clinically proven therapies with natural and alternative methods to encompass whole health healing. I have had great success in helping clients and their families cope with Trauma, Sexual Abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Chemical Dependency, Bipolar Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress, Emotional Dependency, Relationship Issues (couples/marital), Parent-Child Issues, Self Esteem Issues and Co-dependency. I believe firmly in meeting each client wherever they are at in their journey and allowing them to set the pace for their healing. I work with clients to set goals, break painful cycles, and create new patterns of behavior, and to execute strategies that will help them achieve wellness physically, mentally and emotionally.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
