Melissa Campos, LMHC, LCMHC

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) who helps people address stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and other life challenges. She works in English and Spanish and practices from Florida. Her approach is warm and straightforward and meant to make starting therapy easier for worried people and busy parents.

Melissa creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through their problems. She listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, not just talking about feelings.

She uses a mix of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and build values-based actions. Melissa also brings client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy ideas to help with emotion regulation and relationship strain. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may be used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

With 16 years of experience, Melissa combines practical tools with steady support. She helps people manage sleep problems, grief, parenting stress, career concerns, and identity-related issues including LGBT matters. Her work also covers complications from ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.

How Melissa Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Melissa commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions aligned with what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT techniques can help with sleep problems, mood symptoms, addictive behaviors, and stress management. Melissa also integrates client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to strengthen emotion regulation and communication skills when needed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Melissa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions so people learn concrete coping skills and gradually test new ways of responding to stress and relationships.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full office visit is hard to arrange. Many people find it helps them practice skills in daily routines and stay consistent with appointments.
