About Melissa
Melissa Miller is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience. She offers straightforward, practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Melissa aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for conversation and problem solving.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people manage emotions and make changes that fit their lives. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with the therapist and client deciding together what to try.
Background and approach
This might include skills for managing worry, ways to handle relationship conflicts, or steps to rebuild confidence after a setback. Melissa draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to test new behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
These methods are practical and action-oriented, with exercises a person can use between sessions. Her background includes work supporting people through trauma and loss as well as ongoing challenges like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and caregiving stress. She helps people facing life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, divorce, and end-of-life concerns.
Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Melissa aims to help people build clearer goals, reduce distress, and find day-to-day tools that make life feel more manageable.

Online support
Online therapy using CBT and DBT skills
Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, simple experiments, and practical tools to reduce worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides hands-on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. DBT-based techniques are useful for strong emotions, panic, and relationship strain.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels workable. Together they decide which strategies to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheet work. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has lower bandwidth or needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, send quick updates, or use shorter moments for skill practice. These options make it simpler to keep momentum while fitting therapy into daily routines.
