CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Melanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen mood. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing skills between meetings to create steady change.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and reactions that follow abuse or other traumatic events. This approach focuses on understanding how trauma affects current feelings and on building practical coping strategies to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Melanie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts the plan over time based on feedback and progress so therapy stays useful and practical.
