About Melissa
Melissa Quigley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction issues, sleep problems, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and abandonment issues.
Melissa uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions are interactive and practical. Melissa draws on methods that focus on present problems and coping skills.
In her background she has worked across intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. She has experience in community behavioral health agencies, school-based settings in the Philadelphia region, and private practice. She has also served in clinical supervisory and director roles, which included working on programs that connect with families and community services.
Clinical work includes crisis management and de-escalation experience from those higher-acuity settings. Melissa blends different approaches in session depending on the concern. She may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that feed anxiety or depression, and Client-Centered techniques to help people clarify what matters most to them.
People who choose her often want practical tools to manage daily strain. Melissa will work with each person to set priorities and try skills between sessions. The emphasis is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Melissa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments or new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people name their priorities so they can make changes that matter to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She works collaboratively to try an approach, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions match what the person needs.

Some formats also make it simpler to do brief check-ins or focus on practical skill practice between longer sessions.
