Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people work through stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so clients can speak openly about what matters most to them. Her tone is practical and collaborative, aiming for clear steps people can use between sessions.
With 16 years of experience, Melissa uses approaches that match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. She blends tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on small, usable changes that fit daily life.
Melissa also works with people facing grief, trauma, addiction, career strain, parenting stress, and identity questions. She treats concerns around sleeping, anger, intimacy, and compassion fatigue, and she supports those coping with major life changes. She incorporates mindfulness and skills-based practices when helpful.
Originally trained and licensed to practice in Florida, she holds the LMHC and LCMHC credentials listed. Melissa offers services in both English and Spanish to serve a broader range of clients. International clients are not currently accepted.
If someone decides to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process focused on realistic goals and steady progress.
How Melissa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Melissa often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to shift those patterns, useful for depression, worry, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melissa aims to learn about a person's goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan fits the person’s needs and daily routine rather than forcing a single model.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Online work can also let a person practice skills in their usual environment, which helps transfer what’s learned in sessions into everyday life.
