Rate Melissa Strauss

Melissa is really nice, engaging, and encouraging. She is a joy to work with, even when the therapy process brings up hard topics and difficult conversations

She is a great help and a really open-minded non-judgmental person to talk to

I had joined BetterHelp and was three different therapists deep. I was about to cancel and find a new on when I tried one last time and got Melissa. Immediately I felt a strong sense of support and listening. She was very different than the last three. What I like most about my experience is that she listens and offers different views to the problem. She acknowledges my feeling and gives me a different side to think about. I've always been questioning and second guessing things and she has helped me affirm my thought process. I would highly recommend Melissa and thank her for her work.

She’s literally the best. I can always count on her

Been working with Melissa for approximately 18 months. Throughout the 18 months life has been knocking me out as it's been / is full of difficult and challenging events and i'm extremely happy for having her in my "corner". Her endless support, guidance, different perspectives and tools on how to deal with different situations. Very flexible with sessions and always makes herself available when needed. Good listener, calm, easy to open up and talk to and very kind. Thank you Melissa! I'm grateful for having been given the opportunity to work get counseling through betterhelp (huge thanks to Bigger than the trail too) and extremely thankful for having Melissa as counselor as finding one where there is goid chemistry is very difficult!!!

She is very patient and understanding. She knows when I need more direction and support.

I love Melissa. She’s very understanding and kind but not afraid to make me talk and think about the thing I want to avoid. She’s been a wonderful help to my mental health.

Excellent job at what she does :)

I'm extremely happy that Melissa is my counselor and I wouldn't want anyone else!! Highly competent, understanding professional, present and a very nice and sympathetic person!

Amazing! She helps my anxiety 100000% I Highly Recommend!!!

Melissa has been a constant safe harbor during this trying year. She was my third therapist on BetterHelp and I am so lucky it worked out. Asks great questions but also knows when to focus.

I have absolutely loved working with Melissa! She asks great questions, guides the conversation deftly and subtlety, with great compassion! I count myself very lucky to have been able to work with her through Betterhelp!

Thanks for hanging on.

Melissa is an outstanding counselor. She really listens and always seems to ask the right question. This has been a very positive experience.

Melissa is very supportive and focuses on her clients' needs. She is encouraging and helps me think about my perspective on my issues.

First of all, Melissa is a kind, sweetheart and caring person. Intelligent, professional and always two steps ahead. Extremely good at spotting the defects. She has been turning my negatives to positives. She focuses on the person and not the diagnoses! Teaching and providing me with tools to handle my triggers, work on my self esteem and more. All in all the best counseling I've ever had. Thank you Melissa!

Where to begin? Melissa Strauss is an amazing therapist. She listens without judgment, offers practical insight, and helps you explore creative avenues to navigate through whatever you are going through all while giving you encouragement and support along the way. Ive been utilizing this service with Melissa for almost a year after experiencing a broken engagement, and I have nothing but praise for her. I highly recommend counseling with her.

Helpful. She listens and makes recommendations on approaching my issues in a constructive manner.

Melissa is very helpful and kind! She is also very flexible and understanding. I appreciate that every day she reaches out to me, but that she also respects that sometimes I can’t always answer. I also appreciate that she really pays attention to what I write and that she reads my journal entries which makes me feel heard and listened to. Thank you Melissa!

Thank you for everything so far!

Melissa is great at responding to me and always seems to offer a different perspective on things which makes me see things in a different light. I enjoy talking with her and feel that she truly wants to help and cares about my issues.

Melissa is incredibly perceptive and kind. She is a great therapist in the traditional sense (in place of “in office” sessions), and in her availability and willingness to engage in text chats in between sessions. She’s made a big impact on my life.

Very easy to open up to, consistently checks in, she's amazing!

She’s been really cognitive of my needs. She answers very quickly. And I have enjoyed my phone therapy sessions they have been very helpful.
