Hi! My name is Melissa Clem. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7+ years of experience working with adults and children in Community Mental Health and as a Designated Crisis Responder (DCR). I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and a Master’s of Science in Professional Counseling. I am a certified clinical specialist in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) that specifically helps people diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or individuals that need help dealing with trauma from their past. I have worked in several settings including a nonprofit agency, jail and juvenile hall, with law enforcement out in the community in crisis situations, hospital emergency rooms, and in a hospital detainment unit.
My desire is to help you achieve your goals and overcome obstacles that prevent you from becoming the person you desire to be. I offer individualized treatment in a safe compassionate environment where you will be able to explore your hopes and dreams and make a plan to reach your goals to become the person you are meant to be.
Spirituality is a huge part of healing. I believe we are created in the image of God and He wants you to understand the depth of His love for you. I invite you to talk openly and freely about your spiritual beliefs and ask for prayer at any time.
Thank you for choosing me as your therapist. 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, 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.

Im a few weeks in and have seen myself changing and growing already! Melissa is a God send! Breaking thru MAJOR chains! Best choice taking that step to get help! LETS GO! So thankful for her! 10/10♥️
Melissa is very easy to work with, from scheduling sessions to choosing topical worksheets that feel like they're hand picked for me. Shes the best person and personality for my own therapy needs.
Melissa is GREAT and I really appreciate that I can do these sessions virtually. Such a blessing!
I have only had one session with Melissa but already really love how well she listens, understands what my goals are and has been great about how to tackle everything in the right way and at the right pace. I’m looking forward to future sessions.
Melissa is quite personable and very easy to talk to. She remembers details from my complex relationship issues and assigned homework to help focus on what is important in my life. I have found Melissa to be responsive to questions between sessions and it is easy to schedule time on her calendar.
