More about Melanie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with clients in a variety of settings with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and parenting problems. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is a common-sense developmental approach. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic and I believe most problems people suffer with come from difficulties adjusting to life's transitions and loss. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe in helping clients find their "truth" and once we are able to deal with the truth, however ugly, change is born.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and the first steps towards change are the hardest. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.
