About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of experience to sessions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focusing on practical steps you can try between meetings.
She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, addictions, and grief. Melissa also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and the everyday pressures of parenting and work. Sessions aim to identify clear goals and manageable next steps.
Melissa blends several well-known approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work with trauma when appropriate.
Her manner is collaborative: she listens, offers concrete tools, and checks in about what’s working. Conversations are grounded and plainspoken so people can use what they learn right away. Melissa supports clients through transitions, grief, and complex emotional issues that affect daily life.
People who choose her can expect sessions that focus on measurable progress. She assists with coping skills, communication strategies, sleep and stress routines, and plans to address relationship or identity questions. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and set an initial plan.
How her approaches translate to online work
Melissa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts, choosing values-based actions, and accepting difficult feelings rather than fighting them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. CBT emphasizes short-term, skill-based work such as breaking problems into parts and testing new habits between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change over time as work shifts from immediate coping to longer-term change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent weekly check-ins. It can also support follow-up work between in-person visits when that is useful. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting so people practice tools and build routines that extend beyond sessions.
