She is so caring, nurturing and a great listener. Since it was our first session together and only treated as a "get to know" she doesn't know what all has happened to me as of yet but I can tell that she will help me in the healing process.

Melissa is absolutely amazing!! I’ve had 2 sessions with her and she was already done more than several years with other therapists. Melissa challenges me to think about things more in depth than I have/do. I would definitely recommend Melissa to everyone

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Melissa always shows up with a positive attitude and listening ears. She makes sure to understand what youre trying to communicate. She likes to celebrate whats going well that we might take for granted and helps you find tools to be prepared when the not so good takes place
Wonderful listener and understood my issues.
Melissa is great, and very kind.
Excellent therapist.
Melissa is always helpful and kind. She provides a different perspective and is respectful and attentive. Listens patiently and never interrupts. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful therapist who will offer a kind perspective and different healthy coping mechanisms.
Melissa bright has helped me a lot and she talks so sweet and kinda is makes me feel like I’m in a safe space like if I was venting to mother or something close to that! And I was really scared I would nt be able to get her back as a therapist but I’m glad and I will continue to use her services as long as she’s working !
Melissa is incredibly kind and helpful. She views things from multiple angles and her perspective tends to lean to looking for solutions that would be helpful in overcoming the issue at hand. Her suggestions are always helpful.
She’s a good listener with an open heart to whatever I’m going through. Then, she carefully understand the points I’m talking about and trying to give me different solutions and thoughts. I strongly recommend her as a great therapist
Melissa takes feedback well and has been helpful in my journey to understand myself better as someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult
I love working with Melissa. She is full of energy and spunk! We laugh a lot. She also provides me with some great insight into my stressors.
Melissa is a wonderful therapist. I am grateful to call her my therapist. She is truly walking in her purpose.
Melissa is great she is professional and her mannerism feels like I’m talking to someone close and comforting
She is great and she is very helpful Im so thankful for her great help
She is very understanding and knowledgeable. Was able to have some great conversation that were well needed and received. Definitely talk to her again when needed
Melissa has been working with me for a couple of months now. I really appreciate her attentiveness and guidance that she has provided.
Melissa has been great with helping me take self inventory, process my struggles, and find ways to navigate solutions and dive into ways to sustain resolutions. All while working at a pace that works with well with my thought process and availability. I highly recommend Melissa as a therapist.
Melissa understands me and supports me in a way that I need. Best therapist I could have asked for.
Melissa is amazing. She's no nonsense -- helpful, kind, and the kind of therapist who actually talks to you. She is a bright spot in the day and someone who can help call you out on your S&$. Huge fan.
My therapist has helped me a lot, and kept me at task with the things I need to do to improve myself and she has a great demeanor and is fun to work with.
Melissa is probably the best therapist I have ever had. She is kind, compassionate, caring funny and she’s always there for you! I promise she will brighten up your day every time you have a session with her. I wouldn’t hesitate choosing her! She’s truly one of a kind and a beautiful person.
Appreciate the input and assistance
Melissa Bright Bey is a phenomenal therapist who helped me through some of my most difficult struggles. I recommend her to anyone who is considering therapy.
Melissa is wonderful! Her advice is both optimistic and realistic. I will be speaking with her again soon!
My first session was very helpful.
Talked too much and downplayed what I brought up then jumped into fixing it with a worksheet. Not good vibes. She was nice but not skilled at relationship building or active listening.
Melissa is such a great therapist. I’ve had my fair share of therapists and I can confidently say she is the best so far! She’s understanding and truly gives you very helpful advice that is both uplifting and motivating
Great advice
Melissa is Amazing! She's like a mother to me and help's so much. Thank Melissa.
Melissa is a pleasure to talk to. She is very supportive and understanding and really listens to you and gives good advice.
I have only had one session with Melissa but I am very much looking forward to my next one. Melissa comes across as caring, straightforward, open, and happy to have a laugh as well as listen to serious issues.
She has her arms open foe you the moment you start your appointment.
Im really enjoying working with her
Melissa makes me feel very comfortable talking to her. Her help has made a huge difference in my life in the short amount of time I’ve had her as my therapist.
A Simple Great Human Being
I love speaking with her and appreciate her insight
She’s amazing
Melissa has been incredibly helpful and I feel each session is making me more confident.
I love melissa she really became one of the rocks in my life that I can depend on when I feel uneasy. She is calm, supportive funny, and actually hears what you say and any connotation unlike any other.
Melissa is the most beautiful soul. I clicked with her so instantly, she made me feel very safe. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite the right match for me - treatment wise. But I would highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for an experienced, welcoming, and kind-hearted person to talk to. Thank you Melissa! :)
Melissa is such a kind-hearted and warm person that throughout all of our sessions, I felt like I was talking to my sister. Her guidance has helped me gain some insights about my current romantic relationship issues, and eventually came at peace with myself by the time my subscription ended. The whole therapy experience with Melissa was very eye-opening and soothing at the same time. I hope I won't have to seek another therapy coaching in my life but if something does come up later, I would love to reach out to Melissa again. Highly recommended!
Kind and listening therapist who knows which questions to ask
Melissa is absolutely amazing…. Literally someone I never knew I needed but am so glad she here!!
Absolutely incredible therapist. Validates me, understands me, guides me through my trauma and even in such a short space of time has helped me so much medically that I’m on the pathway to actual medication and diagnosis. Incredibly friendly, clearly cares about her clients and I could not recommend her more if I tried!
Melissa is an amazing therapist and BetterHelp has already helped me far more in a few weeks than years of CBT did for me. She is bright, bubbly and incredibly caring as well as encouraging and knowledgable.
Melissa is such a delight so far! I feel heard, understood and I get an proper answer to my concerns and experiences I share.
i like her there’s nothing more i can say she’s a good therapist
I’m very happy to have been paired with Melissa, she has really warm and welcoming energy and listens thoughtfully to help you get to the heart of the problem. We’ve only just started working together and I’m looking forward to taking my therapy further with her.
Melissa has a personality that lights up the room. She gives me the warm and fuzzys and handles everything with care. I would recommend Melissa to everyone and anyone!
Although I haven’t had an official session with Melissa, she was very kind and understanding to my situation. I would recommend her.
I love her energy. When I am finished with my sessions I feel so much better. I really enjoy talking to her and expressing my feelings. I feel like she really listens and provides wonderful feedback.
Melissa Bright Bey is amazing. I thank her for listening and understanding me. We are getting on great and she is helping me through this tough time in my life. Thank you. I look forward to our next session to let her know what's going on.
Melissa is incredible and flexible! From the very first meeting, I felt much better. She's a bright light and empowering woman, looking forward to our sessions.
