About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of practice in Florida. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and life changes. Melissa offers services in English and Spanish and brings steady, practical help to people who are tired of repeated outbursts, simmering resentment, or trouble managing frustration.
She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings. Melissa emphasizes straightforward tools for managing reactions, improving communication, and addressing patterns that keep problems cycling.
Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered ideas with techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That combination supports emotional regulation, shifts in thinking, and processing of past events that feed current anger or anxiety.
In practical terms she helps people notice triggers, reduce impulsive responses, and build habits that lower chronic tension. Conversations include role practice, thought tracking, and learning grounding or mindfulness strategies. Melissa also helps with related concerns such as sleep problems, parenting stress, career strain, and relationship conflicts.
Clients are guided to set realistic steps and measurable goals. The emphasis is on usable skills and clearer decision making rather than abstract theory. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward what matters, which can reduce the stuck cycle of anger and avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses that lead to different results.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These are useful when strong feelings come on quickly and a person needs tools to pause, breathe, and choose a different response.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That often means trying a mix of skill-building, cognitive exercises, and processing work and checking how well they land for the client.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may also use less bandwidth or allow sessions without a camera depending on the option offered. Licensed professionals adapt the approaches above so the same skills and practices can be learned and used from wherever the client is located.
