About Melissa

Melissa Campos offers straightforward support for people who are worried about sleep, stress, or big life changes. She greets each person with a calm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Melissa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC with 16 years of experience.

Her work centers on listening first. She helps people pinpoint what is getting in the way of rest, routine, and coping. Then she and the client try small, doable strategies the client can practice between sessions. Sessions move at a steady, clear pace so people leave with one or two things to try that week.

Melissa uses a mix of commonly used methods, like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, to address anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles. She also brings approaches geared toward processing trauma and improving emotion regulation. Her style is collaborative rather than prescriptive; she shapes each plan around what the person says works for them.

Clients who worry about relationships, parenting, identity, or work stress will find focused, practical support. Melissa also helps with grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She offers services in English and Spanish for people located in Florida.

To begin, she asks people to share their current priorities and a short history so sessions can get useful quickly. The goal is better sleep, clearer routines, and more energy for daily life rather than abstract or lengthy plans.

How this approach translates to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying what matters most to a person and then building small actions that line up with those values. ACT can help when sleep, stress, or worry get in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical techniques to change patterns that affect mood and sleep. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be helpful for trauma-related sleep disruption and intrusive memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a mix is the best fit, and the plan is adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between appointments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Clients often appreciate fewer travel demands, the ability to schedule check-ins around work or caregiving, and the chance to practice skills in their usual routines. Licensed professionals can guide pacing and homework so online work still feels practical and focused.
