More about Melissa
- 6 years' experience

- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with over 13 years of experience working as a case manager, working with a wide variety of populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, OCD and grief and loss. I also have helped many people move on from their trauma and live more fulfilling lives.
Research has repeatedly shown that it's not the theoretical orientation of the therapist that has the greatest influence on client results, but it is truly the connection between the client and the therapist that makes the difference. Thus, even though there are many different schools of therapeutic thought, all good therapists share certain basic qualities: the ability to listen, to empathize, and to symbolically walk beside the client along his or her path. My approach combines cognitive-behavior, dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
