About Melissa
LPCC in California with 5 years of experience, Melissa Moon helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She speaks English and practices in California as an LPCC.
Melissa focuses on practical conversation and coping strategies. She encourages clear communication about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Sessions emphasize straightforward skills people can try between meetings. Melissa works to make it easier to talk about hard topics like loss or strong emotions.
Her approach is based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and on building a steady working relationship. She listens for patterns in mood, panic, and behavior and suggests small, manageable steps to try. That can include ways to manage panic attacks, address low mood, or handle overwhelming anger.
Melissa also helps with parenting concerns and issues that often affect women around pregnancy and postpartum. She can talk through communication problems and support people coping with trauma-related symptoms or personality-related challenges. Her work includes addressing social anxiety and phobia when those issues come up.
Practical matters are part of the work. She explains options for sessions and what to expect at the start of care. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin planning goals and next steps.

How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Melissa describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. For example, approaches that teach breathing and grounding help manage panic attacks and moments of acute anxiety by focusing on immediate physical and behavioral steps. Techniques that track mood and daily routines help people recognize patterns in depression and make small changes to daily habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means trying approaches, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or school commitments because they remove travel time. Some formats may involve video, others a shorter phone check-in which can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick update is needed. Talk with her during the matching process about which session setup will best fit your schedule and day-to-day life.
