Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Melissa uses Hypnotherapy to help people access focused relaxation and guided imagery that can ease persistent anxiety or improve motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to teach skills for noticing thoughts, clarifying values, and taking small committed actions that align with what matters most.She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Finding the right approach often takes a few conversations, and she works with each person to decide whether hypnotherapy, ACT, CBT, or another method fits their goals and comfort level. The plan is adjusted over time based on how a person responds and what feels most useful.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text sessions make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to use short written exercises between appointments.
