Hello! My name is Melissa Robles and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Louisiana. I’ve been practicing in the mental health field for the last 5 years. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including schools, short-term inpatient mental health hospitals, clinics and agency settings. Within these settings I’ve worked with clients in a wide range of concerns including trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, victims and witnesses of crime, parenting problems, career challenges, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and life transitions. I’ve facilitated groups and individual sessions as well.
My counseling style is warm and inviting. I believe that trust should be established, and the work will naturally flow through a safe environment. I also believe that LAUGHTER is truly therapeutic! I incorporate a holistic, multicultural and integrative approach to treatment. I combine multiple therapy techniques including but not limited to cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques. However, I meet the client where they are and tailor what is necessary to help in the achievement of accomplishing goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s great!!! I feel like we’re on the same page and I love it!!! Can’t wait to do more sessions!
My first session was great. I already felt I took a step in channeling those big emotions. She gave me several ways to help me when I feel my emotions are getting the best of me, and she also checked up on me to make sure I was doing well.
Amazing
Melissa has been awesome!
Melissa has been a HUGE help to me and her style of counseling makes me feel sooo comfortable and supported. We always have at least one good laugh per call. She’s sweet and kind, but firm enough to give me the hard truth in a kind way when I need it.
Very patient and easy to talk to!!
Melissa is the best! She has helped me so much and in such a warm and kind way.
Easy to talk to & very understanding
I just had my first session with Melissa and she was great. I felt she genuinely heard what I was saying and asked pertinent questions that helped me to dig deeper into what we were discussing. She has a very warm, comforting, and genuine demeanor and has already helped me in just one session.
Melissa has been easy to talk to from the first minute, and she has made me comfortable to open up, celebrate the small wins, and start confronting deeper challenges. So glad I was matched with her!
Melissa has a welcoming vibe to her. I feel like she is really listening and offers great feedback. Looking forward to more sessions with her.
