About Melanie
Melanie Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses including anger, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with big changes.
She uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Melanie listens for patterns in thinking, behavior, and feeling, then introduces tools to shift those patterns.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and commit to actions that matter. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven in for emotion regulation and stress management.
In session she helps people practice small experiments between meetings. These tasks are short, concrete, and aimed at real-life situations like work stress, family conflict, or managing sudden anger. The focus is on skills that can be used right away.
Melanie has supported clients through trauma, grief, addiction-related concerns, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and identity or neurodiversity matters such as autism traits. She also works with people facing chronic illness or complicated family-of-origin patterns.
She conducts sessions in English and serves people based in Colorado. If you want to begin, you’ll complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits your needs.
How sessions work
How Melanie Uses Therapy Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters most and encourages small actions that line up with those values. It is often useful for people wrestling with anger, avoidance, or life transitions because it focuses on meaningful change rather than getting rid of unpleasant feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests new ways of responding. It tends to be practical and skills-focused, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and anger that follows predictable patterns. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose what fits their goals and daily life. That means trying different tools in session and adjusting what’s used based on how well those tools help with real situations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also permits using mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework tracking between meetings, which supports practicing new responses to anger and stress in everyday life.Areas of focus
