About Mary

Dr. Mary Ann Meli brings 35 years of clinical experience as a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4501), guiding people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career to create personalized care plans and adapts her approach to each person's situation. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical support to help clients move toward more satisfying functioning and greater resilience.

Her work integrates evidence-based methods with a collaborative stance, tailoring conversations and interventions to the individual's goals and circumstances. In addition to core concerns such as mood disorders and coping with change, she addresses challenges like sleep problems, parenting stress, relationship and family dynamics, trauma, addictions, and ADHD.

Dr. Meli aims to empower clients through focused therapeutic strategies while honoring their strengths and pace of progress.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Dr. Meli uses client-centered therapy to build a working relationship that prioritizes each person's values and goals; this approach focuses on listening, understanding, and tailoring support to what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy may be incorporated to help develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which combination of client-centered dialogue, CBT techniques, and mindfulness practices best matches their needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals without rearranging an entire schedule, and they allow the therapist and client to adapt how they meet as needs change over time.
