About Melinda
Melinda Labbe is a licensed mental health professional who draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and relationship challenges. She holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC and frames therapy around respect, sensitivity, and collaborative problem solving.
Background and approach
Her background includes addressing grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other focus areas. Her style is warm, interactive, and tailored to each person's needs; she integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-focused and emotion-centered interventions.
That flexible blend helps clients build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and improve communication patterns. Melinda also brings experience working with survivors of sexual and physical trauma and supports those navigating family, adoption, and blended family challenges.
Clients who seek coaching or therapy with her can expect a partnership that emphasizes empowerment, practical strategies, and ongoing adjustment of goals and techniques as progress unfolds. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English, offering several online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.
How approach-driven online therapy works
Melinda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns, attachment needs, and how early bonds influence current emotional responses, which is useful for intimacy-related issues and communication struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques remain aligned with progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that fit their life, make scheduling easier across busy calendars, and support consistent work toward goals through a mix of synchronous and asynchronous contact.
