About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of experience to straightforward, practical care. Melissa creates a calm and respectful space for people to talk through what feels hard right now.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set simple goals and steps to reach them. Sessions focus on skills you can use between appointments, such as coping strategies for worry, ways to manage strong emotions, and methods to improve sleep or focus.
Background and approach
Melissa uses a mix of approaches that match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment work to clarify values, and mindfulness to build calm attention. For trauma-related concerns she may integrate EMDR-informed methods when appropriate.
Over her career she has supported people facing relationship challenges, grief, addiction struggles, and caregiving stress. She also works with concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, body image, and recovery from domestic violence. Her goal is to help people gain more control over day-to-day life and feel steadier.
Clients can expect clear explanations and practical homework between sessions. Melissa aims to make therapy feel useful and doable, not overwhelming. She partners with each person to find what actually helps in their life.
How Melissa’s approaches translate to online care
Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through clear, step-by-step exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of her practice and focuses on clarifying what matters most to you while building small actions that match your values. For trauma-related issues she may incorporate EMDR-informed techniques to help process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills training, values-based actions, or trauma processing at any point in care.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and full-session work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress when schedules change.
