About Melissa
Melissa Eugley is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. She writes and speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical steps they can use day to day. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most.
Sessions often look at patterns that lead to impulsive choices, trouble concentrating, or repeated conflict. Melissa helps clients build simple routines and coping skills that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes gentle support with concrete tools. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take action toward them.
Melissa also works with trauma-related issues and addiction concerns. She incorporates elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when past memories interfere with daily functioning. The focus is on small changes that reduce distress and improve functioning over time.
With six years of experience and an LMHC credential, she draws on what has worked for others while tailoring sessions to each person. People who want straightforward, skills-based help will find a practical partner in her work.
Evidence-based approaches for virtual care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses less on changing every thought and more on making progress on important goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and attention-related challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress from past memories that keep causing problems today and can be part of trauma recovery.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, strengths, and daily routines, then suggest methods to try. Sessions are flexible and will adjust based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers a practical way to work on these approaches. Video calls let therapists demonstrate skills and notice body language. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing new skills between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, or busy family schedules.
