More about Melinda
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, conflict resolution, communication, career challenges and military members. I also worked with individuals who have experienced trauma from sexual abuse/rape, physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. 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 feel it is an honor to walk through the journey with my client to a better happier life.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

She been a lot help she help me through my problems like no body could she really give me what I needed
Melinda is so kind, warm, and invites you to a safe, judgement-free space. We have shared laughs and tears amidst her abundance of guidance and enthusiasm to see me heal. She reminds me of who I am - and who I’m not - and who I want to be in the future and how I can get there. Melinda will show you all the parts of yourself you need to see, and she’ll do it gently. My time with her was short since I’m moving states, but I truly felt a tremendous amount of progress was made. I’ve had a few therapists before I got to Melinda, and she’s been wonderful. Carry on!
Melinda has helped me deal with my problems in a more constructive way that makes me feel better about myself.
She's helped me a lot, my life has improved drastically since starting therapy. I'm super grateful!
Melinda is the BEST!!! She went above and beyond by sending me multiple materials to support our live session and frequently reaching out to see how I was doing. She provided with me with amazing counsel that I will take with me forever and share with other people as well! Everyone needs a Melinda in their life! Thank you, Melinda!
I never write reviews but Melinda is worth it! I did not come into this with an open mind, now I'm pretty excited for the results
Melinda is amazing, the best therapist I've ever had! She listens and invites you to think about things differently. She also offers her own perspective, and gives advice on how to look at things differently. I have been truly helped by my experience with her and highly recommend her.
Melinda has been a real life-saver for me. She's helped me gain the insight and tools I need to be okay.
Melinda is a skilled counselor. She has been a great help to me in my weight loss and also in working through some of life's other challenges. I highly recommend her.
I feel very comfortable with Melinda and look forward to talking to her. She provides a supportive and positive space without judgement. She remembers small details from previous sessions which lets me know she really listens and cares. She checks up on me between appointment days, and she’s not afraid to be honest or bring up something uncomfortable because she knows it will only benefit me. I would definitely recommend her.
Melinda has helped me a lot over the last few months, I feel safe and comfortable in our sessions, and would highly recommend her.

Melinda has been instrumental in my therapy and continues to provide support and alternative ways to cope with my daily stressors. I’m forever grateful to have her as my therapist. She has and continues to help me.

Melinda has helped me be successful in conquering a lifelong battle with my weight through the tools and support she has provided. Although I am still a work in progress, for the first time in my life I know I can reach my goal of achieving a healthy weight. Thank you Melinda!
She is compassionate and consistent and fair she’s also straight to the point where need be.
Melinda is wonderful. She's patient, kind, real, and is truly invested in her patients. I started working with her during an extremely stressful time and she went above and beyond to help me navigate the chaos when I needed help most. I feel very lucky to have ended up with her as my counselor. There are many great qualities about her counseling style, but for me the most notable has been her ability to help me without it feeling that way. I feel like I have made great progress in managing my mind and emotions, and just organizing my life since working with Melinda. I would recommend her a thousand times over.
Melinda is an incredible counselor. She is involved, responsive, caring, and very knowledgeable. I have been in counseling for years, and my experience with Melinda has truly been the best. I highly recommend her with all of my heart!
Definitely understands what I need in counseling and is very helpful and responsive!
She has helped me a lot. She listens to my problems and offers solutions.
So attentive and lovely. Makes me feel like she really hears me.
