More about Melissa

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut and I have been working in the field of addiction and mental health treatment since 2008. I am also a certified nutrition coach which allows me to combine my clinical experience with my passion for health and wellness. I want to help others navigate through the chaos of life by teaching them how to prioritize their own mental health and physical well-being so they can feel their best and most productive. My practice focuses on building a healthy foundation of “self”, using a strength based and solution focused approach to help minimize the feeling of “struggling” and identify what is possible to change to achieve growth. I work to provide personalized, individual plans for my clients that allow for flexibility in their busy lives and will lead to overall success and sustainability.

I believe my professional and personal experience, genuine personality, and skills provide support and education to individuals in a safe and caring setting. I have a lot of experience specifically working with mothers and fathers looking to re-create their personal identity within their family unit. I am all about establishing healthy habits and routines creating balance. I would like to see individuals feeling empowered and work to decrease feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety by improving their health and overall happiness.

Change can be hard but I am here to help you through this journey!

I am most available 10-6:30 at this time, and most available days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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, 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.

Working with Melissa has been great! She’s empathetic, can be flexible with her schedule, and always tries to have a optimistic take on things. My favorite part of our sessions is that she helps me focus on some of my goals for the coming week and getting clear on that.

Melissa is a god send. She’s helped me through some of the hardest transitions and situations in my adult life and continues to gently guide me in the right direction without overwhelming me. She innately understands my needs and I would recommend her counseling to anyone looking to heal and live a happy, well-rounded life!

Melissa has a great personality, really listens to her patient's concerns and needs. I requested for her to challenge me and she does that! I value that she messages me during the week whether it's to remind me of my goals or keep me accountable. I also value that she doesn't just listen in our sessions, but provides the feedback I need to hear, even if I don't want to hear it. I highly recommend Melissa :)

Melissa is extremely supportive and a good listener. She helps me plan out goals and talk through any issues that I am experiencing. We discuss a large variety of topics - relationships, work/career struggles, diet/nutrition, fitness goals, general happiness, among others. I would highly recommend her to others. She is knowledgeable, friendly, open minded, and overall just a wonderful person.

Melissa has been a huge help for me with my family, personal, and work relationships and troubles. I am usually on the shy side and take a while to truly open up, but she made me feel comfortable and safe and I truly look forward to our sessions together. She has made such a positive impact on my life and highly recommend.

I finished my first 4-session package with Melissa and I have been really enjoying the sessions. I like that the sessions are affordable, I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts in a safe space, and I like the in-between sessions to keep me thinking about our talks together. I notice my negative emotional reactions lately have been easier to control and to look at them objectively.
