Melissa Campos, LMHC, LCMHC

Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she practices from Florida. Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small, doable steps to handle anger, low self-esteem, sleep trouble, or caregiving strain. Melissa uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, dialectical behavior tools, and EMDR when appropriate. Melissa draws on sixteen years of clinical experience to shape each plan around a person’s current needs. That can mean skill-building for managing emotions, reframing unhelpful thinking, or working through trauma memories with targeted techniques. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues and the stresses that come with caregiving. Because therapy often involves real-life changes, she focuses on strategies that fit day-to-day routines. That might include short behavioral experiments, grounding skills for overwhelming moments, or values-based action steps to regain direction after loss or a big life shift. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, clear goals, and collaborative planning. She invites questions about how therapy will work and helps people decide what to try first.

How Melissa Uses Clinical Approaches Online and in Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and recovering motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It often includes practical homework and short experiments between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories and related reactions; it is used when trauma processing is a clear part of the plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melissa discusses options and tailors techniques to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care during transitions or while managing caregiving responsibilities. The therapist will help align session practices and homework with how you live each day.
