About Melissa

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Utah with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and substance-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Her style focuses on straightforward, practical work. She uses evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Conversations are collaborative and aim to build skills that can be used between sessions.

Melissa commonly uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That can mean learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or processing difficult memories. She also draws on client-centered and DBT-influenced techniques to support emotional regulation and communication.

People often come for help with family-related stress, parenting strain, or recurring conflict. She also supports those facing major life changes, grief, or burnout. Her background includes work with attachment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.

Practical matters are part of the work. She helps clients set achievable goals, track small changes, and develop routines for sleep, stress, and self-management. To start, visitors follow the online pathway on the site to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Melissa integrates proven approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and building new routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a set of procedures for processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on everyday life; it is commonly used for trauma and abuse. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with each client and decide together which fits the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example using a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people continue therapy after a move and maintain continuity while juggling parenting, caregiving, or work demands. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and between-session tasks so they work well in an online setting.
