About Melissa Melson

Melissa Melson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, motivation and confidence struggles, and concerns related to self esteem.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Melissa emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies that align with each client’s goals.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best: video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and life responsibilities.
