Melissa Mondella, LMHC

LMHC, licensed in New York, with 10 years of professional experience, Melissa Mondella helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and building self-love. Melissa uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people feel clearer about their next move.

Melissa encourages people to say what they need to say and to notice what gets in the way of change. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and works with clients to try small, doable changes between meetings.

Her approach emphasizes gradual progress. That can mean breaking large problems into steps, testing a new behavior, or practicing different ways of talking with others. She checks in on what worked and what did not, then adjusts the plan together with the client.

Melissa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She helps people strengthen self-esteem by identifying harsh self-talk and practicing alternative, realistic thoughts. For communication concerns she guides people toward clearer expression and healthier boundaries.

Sessions are aimed at practical coping and clearer decision making. People who want direct feedback and concrete suggestions will find her style useful. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule an initial appointment.
