About Melinda
Melinda Perry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience offering compassionate help for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. She meets each person where they are and works to build practical skills that make daily life easier. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward support.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in focus. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual and choices about next steps are made together.
Background and approach
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help people understand and adjust strong emotions that affect relationships and wellbeing. Melinda has worked across many areas related to family and relationships, including communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, caregiver stress, and self-worth struggles.
These topics often connect to attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, and forgiveness work. Practical problem solving is central to her sessions. She helps people create manageable plans, practice new ways of handling conflict, and build skills for coping with everyday stressors.
The therapist explains options clearly and adapts the pace to fit each person's needs. Melinda practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. She encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step and complete the simple intake steps to begin matching and scheduling.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns without judgment. It helps people clarify goals, make choices, and practice new behaviors that fit their everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape reactions and relationships, helping people name and shift strong feelings so they can connect and respond differently.Deciding which approach will help most is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and goal-focused.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and moments that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
