Melissa Sutton, LPC

Melissa Sutton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and issues related to body image and postpartum mood changes.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens to how problems show up day to day, then helps people pick small practical steps to reduce reactivity and improve communication. Sessions often include noticing patterns, learning skills for strong emotions, and practicing new ways of responding when stress flares.

Melissa uses several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment rather than sticking to one method.

People who work with her learn ways to interrupt spirals of anger or worry, set clearer boundaries, and stay more present in relationships. Treatment often covers problem-solving for daily triggers, managing impulsivity, and addressing underlying issues such as attachment wounds or grief.

Sessions are delivered in English and reflect a practical focus on skills and insight. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
