Melissa is and has been incredible. In just two sessions she has helped me realize so many things about myself and the issues I have/things happening in my life that I never would have. I am looking forward to continuing our work together towards a brighter and happier future.
More about Melissa
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Indiana with 15 years of professional work experience. I have helped clients with difficulties involving Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), individuals with special needs and individuals with anxiety. I understand how juggling the various responsibilities in life can become overwhelming at times. It is important to reach out for help when these feelings build up. Finding someone who will make you feel heard and can provide helpful support to work through these challenges can be crucial in regaining confidence in yourself and your ability to make it through tough times. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am happy that you have chosen to take the first step toward recognizing your strengths and I hope that therapy will be a helpful tool for you!

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.

Melissa is great
Melissa is and has been incredible. In just two sessions she has helped me realize so many things about myself and the issues I have/things happening in my life that I never would have. I am looking forward to continuing our work together towards a brighter and happier future.
Melissa has given me underatanding of underlying issues that I didn't see. She has been very beneficial for me to understand why I have tolerated so much in my relationships.
Melissa had been very helpful already in just three sessions. She did listen to me and has helped me to feel more calm and gave me confidence I will be able to overcome my current hardships. Very Happy to have her!
Absolutely the best person to go through a healing journey with. She is very supportive & respectful in every discussion we’ve had. She’s able to see things from different view points & is very helpful! I was worried about uncovering my past with someone I didn’t know, but Melissa has exceeded my expectations.
She has been able to identify my needs and suggest coping strategies to help the those needs.
Melissa is thoughtful, engaging, listens, and I appreciate her!
Down to earth, practical
I am so glad I was connected with Melissa. I was struggling with all sorts of issues and she truly made me feel heard and helped me overcome a lot of my struggles just in my first session. Therapy can be scary but finding someone who truly listens and understands can make a huge impact and I am forever grateful for her and the help she has provided me.
I've tried therapy a couple of times and never really found a person I thought connected with me, until I met Melissa. I can't thank her enough for making me feel validation in my feelings and help me work through my struggles.
Very helpful! I feel back on track and more organized!
