Melissa Campos, LMHC, LCMHC

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of experience to each session. Melissa aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start seeing small changes quickly.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She asks questions, listens closely, and works with clients to set clear goals. Sessions usually include skills practice, plain-language explanations, and steps people can use between meetings to manage daily challenges.

Melissa uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She pulls from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s own values and choices.

For trauma and deeper emotional work she may incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and when emotions feel overwhelming she can draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action that matters to them.

Melissa has worked with a wide range of problems including grief, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. People who contact her can expect a collaborative approach that emphasizes practical tools, steady support, and respect for their life context.

How Melissa’s approaches translate to online work

Many of Melissa’s go-to methods adapt well to online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with homework and practice tasks that fit naturally into remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can be discussed and practiced in virtual meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories and can be delivered in a paced, structured way in conversation online.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and everyday demands. She adjusts pace and tools as needed so therapy stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online work, confirm specific session formats before booking since options were not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use screen-sharing for worksheets and send brief between-session tasks to support practice and progress.
