Therapeutic approaches and working online
Melissa commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and a humanistic perspective. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. A humanistic perspective emphasizes understanding a person’s experience and preferences to guide collaborative goal setting. When appropriate, she also integrates biblical principles into the work for clients who want that perspective.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try ideas in-session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit the problem, values, and daily life demands.
