About Melissa Hummelt

Melissa Hummelt centers her work on the collaborative relationship she builds with each person in therapy, believing that openness and trust make the most of the time spent together. She completed a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marquette University and brings more than a decade of experience in the mental health field to her practice. She has been meeting with clients online for the past nine years, using that experience to shape how she connects and supports people remotely.

She holds LMHC and LPC credentials - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and draws on a primarily cognitive-behavioral therapy framework to help clients identify and change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way of their goals. She also integrates mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas when those approaches fit an individual's needs, tailoring treatment to each person's preferences and circumstances.

Melissa is passionate about empowering others, increasing awareness around difficult situations, and supporting people as they build more meaningful lives and relationships. Previous clients have described her as warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental, qualities she brings to every session. She currently offers live-chat and asynchronous messaging as her available modalities, and suggests seeking a different clinician if video or phone sessions are preferred.
