Therapeutic approaches and working online
Melanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in plain, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps that align with personal values rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melanie will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. She often blends skills-based work with values-oriented steps so sessions remain practical and relevant.
