Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and making concrete changes in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of self-destructive behavior by offering clear tools to navigate overwhelming moments.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is useful when someone is facing decisions about substance use, health behaviors, or other areas where commitment to change is uncertain.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Melanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment as work progresses so the plan stays relevant and effective.
Online sessions with licensed professionals offer flexibility and accessibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or connect through live chat and text-based messaging.
