About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Utah, with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses practical, evidence-based tools to address everyday problems. That can mean learning skills to manage anger and frustration, building routines to sleep better, or practicing thinking skills that reduce anxiety. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, and major life changes.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and client-centered work. In practice this looks like noticing what matters to the client, trying out new behaviors, and practicing specific skills in session. She often pairs talk with exercises that clients can use between meetings.
Melissa frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear goals and tracks progress across sessions. For people struggling with anger, she focuses on practical ways to lower reactivity and repair relationships while addressing the feelings underneath.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and taking practical steps that matter. Online sessions can focus on real-life experiments and values-based actions clients can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. In video or phone sessions a therapist can coach thought-challenging skills and assign short practice exercises to do during the week. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and reactions by using structured processing; the therapist explains the steps and guides the process remotely when appropriate.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to initial sessions. Together you decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a mix fits best and make adjustments along the way.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they can fit a brief check-in into a lunch break, join from a quieter location, or avoid travel time. Online meetings also make it easier to practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur. Ask about format, scheduling, and any technical needs when you complete the matching questionnaire.
