Melissa McCarthy

Licensed Resident in Counseling

Hi there!

I’m Melissa, a Licensed Resident in Counseling with three years of experience helping people navigate life’s ups and downs through virtual therapy. I offer fully online sessions that are designed to feel just as comfortable, supportive, and personal as meeting in person.

My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I believe in meeting you where you are emotionally, mentally, and at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore your goals and work toward meaningful, lasting change. 

I have experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, body image concerns, and life transitions. I also bring both personal and professional insight into working with individuals on the autism spectrum, offering understanding and support that honors each person’s unique experience and perspective.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each individual’s needs. I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns

• Person-Centered Therapy: to ensure you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered

• Narrative Therapy: to support you in re-writing your story in ways that foster healing and growth

If you’re looking for a compassionate, collaborative therapist who offers the convenience of virtual sessions while maintaining the warmth and connection of in-person therapy, I’d be glad to support you on your journey.

Available for virtual appointments.
