More about Melissa

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

My name is Melissa Hyland Wilson. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and group therapy. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, anger management, domestic violence, grief and loss, parenting issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, mood disorders as well as life events such as career change, parenting, marriage and divorce.

I know how hard it is to reach out for help. I work to provide a safe, comfortable environment free of judgement in which my clients can openly discuss their feelings. I believe the therapeutic relationship is important in facilitating change.

I utilize client-centered, solution focused, CBT, DBT and other approaches tailored to each client’s individual needs.

I look forward to being a part of your journey in living your best life.

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.
