About Melissa
Melissa Campos brings 16 years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor to her therapeutic work in Florida.
Background and approach
She offers personalized care that centers each client's concerns and goals, drawing on a range of evidence-based methods to address common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, and self-esteem. Her practice emphasizes compassion and collaboration while tailoring interventions to what each person needs.
Clients can expect practical, skills-oriented support informed by modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, EMDR, and client-centered techniques. Melissa also pays attention to situational challenges including parenting, career transitions, caregiving strain, bereavement, medical-related stress, and attachment or family complexities.
She communicates in English and Spanish and maintains licensure as LMHC and LCMHC, bringing seasoned clinical judgment to treatment planning. Melissa frames therapy as a joint process focused on steady progress and workable coping strategies.
Her aim is to help clients build resilience, clarify values and goals, and develop tools for better day-to-day functioning and relationships.
Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Melissa often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work, using CBT to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and ACT to help clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility; both approaches are practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. She also uses client-centered principles to create an empathetic, respectful space where a person’s own goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to evaluate which strategies fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods over time so interventions remain relevant to goals and life circumstances. This shared decision making helps make therapy feel purposeful and personalized.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations, support stepwise skill practice between sessions, and accommodate clients who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins as part of an ongoing therapeutic plan.
