About Melanie

Melanie Mullins is a licensed mental health counselor with eight years of clinical experience who draws on practical, evidence-based methods to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She practices with dual licensure as an LMHC and LPC and emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship as the foundation for meaningful change and healing. Melanie explains therapeutic work in straightforward terms and focuses on helping clients identify where they have control, then build strategies to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day enjoyment.

Her training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is paired with additional approaches to fit each person's needs, so sessions can include skills for managing anxiety or mood, values-based planning for life changes, and practical problem solving for relationship or career stress.

Melanie positions therapy as a partnership: she listens closely, offers clinical guidance, and helps clients set realistic goals that reflect their priorities. Based in New York, she aims to empower people to make steady, manageable shifts rather than promising quick fixes.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters most, while also building skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are helpful when overwhelming emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melanie works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapts sessions over time so the plan fits evolving needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines while working with licensed professionals.
