About Melanie

Melanie Bartholomew is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with adults facing a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting and family problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, mood disorders, and ADHD, bringing a practical, compassionate stance to each person’s challenges. Her approach blends client-centered principles with targeted techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, among other methods.

Melanie avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on understanding how difficulty adjusting to change or loss contributes to current problems. She tailors conversation and treatment plans to each client’s circumstances, emphasizing respectful, sensitive collaboration that helps people uncover personal truths and move toward meaningful change.

Clients who are ready to take the first steps toward better coping and greater well-being will find a steady, empathic partner in her practice. Melanie aims to support and empower people as they work through painful material and build practical skills for everyday life.

Online Approaches That Support Change



Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal challenges and make choices that reflect their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood difficulties. It offers practical tools for identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing assumptions, and developing more effective coping strategies for everyday problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Melanie takes a collaborative stance to determine what fits best. She tailors interventions to each person's needs, combining relationship-focused support with skills-based techniques so clients can pursue goals at a comfortable pace.

Online therapy formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitional periods. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that work best for them while working through stress, grief, ADHD-related concerns, and life changes.
