About Melissa
Melissa Campos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of experience helping people manage common life stresses. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who are juggling parenting concerns, work pressures, and relationship strains. Her style is warm and practical, focused on clear steps rather than long theory talks.
She offers short-term skills training and longerterm support depending on what someone needs. Sessions often focus on managing anxiety, depression, anger, addiction concerns, grief, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving.
Background and approach
Melissa also supports people facing identity and intimacy-related questions, including LGBT concerns. Her approach blends straightforward therapies to match each person's situation. Melissa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to untangle unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. EMDR is available for trauma work when appropriate. Melissa favors collaboration in sessions.
She listens for practical problems, then helps set small goals and practiceable techniques. Many people work on sleep, stress reduction, communication, and parenting challenges during sessions. Sessions are offered remotely by phone, video, live chat, or messaging to fit different schedules.
She holds Florida LMHC and Utah LCMHC credentials and bases her practice in Florida. If Spanish is preferred she can carry sessions in Spanish.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling options
Melissa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite painful feelings. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and ongoing life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical skills for mood, sleep, and behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday pressures.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will discuss options with each person and choose methods that fit their goals, rhythm, and preferences. She treats the decision as a collaboration and may combine approaches as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and different daily routines.
