More about Melinda
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPCC
I have been working in behavioral health since 2019 and have experience across a variety of treatment settings. I am passionate about mental health and enjoy getting to know the unique experiences, strengths, and perspectives that make each person who they are. My approach is warm, approachable, and collaborative, and I often incorporate humor to help clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Adlerian theory and integrates evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. I primarily work with older adolescents (ages 16+) and young adults, and I welcome most adults ages 18 and older. I value curiosity, self-awareness, and helping clients develop practical tools they can apply to everyday life.
Outside of work, I enjoy hot yoga, walking and running, playing the guitar, and unwinding with a good true crime book or documentary.

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.
