If you need a safe place for saying things out loud, I may be able to help. It is my honor as a therapist to hear and to seek understanding of your journey without judgment. The resulting relationship can have immense therapeutic value and is foundational in my approach. My training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy allows me to help you sort through the stuff of life to discover ways to reduce depression and anxiety. There are places in your life where you do have control - let's find them together and create strategies to make life more enjoyable for 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.

Melanie has not only become someone I trust, but someone I look forward to talking to! She is so relatable and gives amazing advice. I’m lucky to have gotten matched up with her!
Melanie is so good at what she does and many times hearing back from her (always in a timely fashion) ) is always just what I need to help me take things down a notch . I highly recommend her!
Wanted to share that Melanie was very helpful. She listened to my concerns and issues and was able to help me sort them out and get a better understanding of what was going on. Very greatfull for her. Although we only did a few sessions, I was seeing other professionals and we were able to have the conversations that need to be had to move me forward.
She's very kind and a very good listener that whenever I vent or let out my bottled up emotions I feel a whole lot better, even though I feel like I'm good or not much has happened to me it still feels good to let out anything that has happen.
It is wonderful. I love the journal, and being able to share.
She makes it less intimidating by treating you as a person. We laugh. We tackle big issues and small ones. Best person I’ve ever seen for therapy etc. which says a lot since I have been in and out for 15 years trying to find a fit
Melanie is a great listener and very encouraging. She gives you a lot of actionable things to do and practice to eventually change your life. Thank you! I think I am making a lot of progress in the short time I've had her.
She's awesome!!
the best !
Melanie has been a wonderful asset in my life! She's helped me to put things into perspective and better understand where many of my behaviors originated as well as how to better control them. She has supported me through a very difficult breakup and helped me to maintain optimism and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Love my counselor!
Melanie is awesome. Whenever I have something I just need to talk out she’s there AND has invested the time to know everything that’s going on with me.
Melanie Mullin’s is extremely professional, caring and most importantly, attentive. I haven’t been using this app for a long time, but in the last few weeks that I have been, my counselor Melanie has shown me that she IS listening to what I have to say. I have been in therapy multiple times in my life and she is one of the only therapists that I can say is actually hearing what I have to say. I always felt like I was being judged instead of being listened to, but not with Melanie! I highly recommend this app to anyone seeking to improve their mental health or even if they’re just looking for someone to talk to that will actually hear them out. And for anyone that does decide to try and improve their mental health by using this app, I HIGHLY recommend Melanie Mullins. She is an excellent counselor.
Having Melanie Mullins as a counselor has been so helpful in my journey to self healing. It is so easy to be open and honest. She never judges and gives so much insight. I am truly grateful to be working with her and look forward to continuing my path to being a happier and healthy person.
Melanie is extremely down to earth and objective. She really takes the time to see things from your point of view and help you as many ways as she can. She also touches base with you when she hasn’t heard from you in a bit and is used to hearing from you daily. She’s very understanding, but also straightforward in an extremely respectful manner. I’ve never had someone who I felt really took the time to get to understand me and my needs as much as her. She’s human and treats you as another human instead of just a patient.
Melanie has been great in helping me set some goals for my career end relationship. I would recommend her to anyone as she’s a great listener.
Melanie has been an extreme help the last few weeks. Super kind hearted, and encouraging. Definitely had a few "Ah hah!" moments lol.
She’s amazing, compassionate, understanding. In the short time we had worked together, she has helped me more than any physical therapist I’ve seen.
Melanie is a great listener and always there to tell you how it is. That's something that's super important. She doesn't sugar coat and helps you work through your problems. She is wonderful.
From the first few messages back and forth., we clicked. It wasn’t intimidating. I felt like I had a “friend” only they weren’t judgmental and they are my therapist. She’s so down to earth.
She is extremely professional, honest and empathetic to people’s situations. I appreciate her attentiveness, caring nature and realistic recommendations as they have allowed me to see other ways of self improvement. I would highly recommend her to anyone as she is always available and flexible to work with people’s schedules.
She is so supportive and she tells you how it is. She’s very nice, she respects boundaries and I definitely feel like I got a lot of help from her.
She’s amazing
