About Melissa
Melissa Hummelt is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people regain self-worth and manage everyday stress. She aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can speak openly and work toward concrete changes. Her approach is warm and practical, with a clear emphasis on collaboration and respect.
Melissa earned a master of arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds the credentials LMHC and LPC. She has about 15 years of experience in mental health and has been meeting with clients online for the past nine years. That history means she is familiar with remote care routines and how to structure ongoing work across sessions.
In sessions Melissa leans on cognitive behavioral therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps. She also draws from mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person's needs. The work focuses on what matters most to each person rather than following a fixed script.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, parenting strain, grief, and struggles with self esteem. She also supports those facing addiction, eating and food-related issues, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum mood changes, and career questions.
Melissa describes herself as nonjudgmental and welcoming and aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that aligns with her availability.
