About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing depression, anger, addiction, grief, and concerns about self-esteem and intimacy. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work.
In sessions she emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can talk through their concerns and set realistic goals. Melissa uses clear, practical strategies that people can try between appointments. She focuses on what matters to each person and adapts her approach to fit their goals and day-to-day life.
Her background includes a variety of evidence-based approaches. Melissa draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses acceptance-based methods to help people clarify values and make changes that matter. She also integrates client-centered listening and tools from dialectical behavior work and EMDR when appropriate.
Melissa takes a collaborative stance in therapy. She helps clients identify small steps forward and builds skills for coping with stress, improving sleep, and managing emotions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, caregiving stress, parenting challenges, and work-related strain.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match goals to an appropriate plan. Sessions are arranged based on her schedule, and fees vary with location and the chosen subscription plan.
How Melissa applies evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own insight and choices, which can strengthen self-esteem and motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. She checks in and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the client rather than the other way around.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people meet from a quieter place, use audio-only when bandwidth is low, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals can help plan how to use online sessions alongside other supports.
