About Melanie
Melanie Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, depression, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also supports clients managing life transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem and career concerns, as well as complex family and caregiving dynamics. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, emphasizing an open space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.
Melanie uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. She encourages practical steps alongside deeper emotional work so clients can build coping skills and move toward meaningful changes.
Melanie’s practice also addresses additional focus areas like adoption and foster care, neurodiversity concerns, codependency, chronic illness and disability, communication and family of origin issues. She frames beginning therapy as a brave step and invites prospective clients to take that first step toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and commit to behavior changes that align with those values, while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and chronic challenges where values-guided action is needed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, often supporting issues like depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness-based practices are integrated to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which complements both ACT and CBT approaches.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of support across life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapies, skill practice, and ongoing coaching in ways that suit each client's routine and communication style.
