About Melinda

Melinda Perry is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience who draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to guide people through difficult life changes.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, addictions, and challenges related to ADHD. Her practice also addresses a wide range of family and attachment concerns, including adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and family of origin patterns.

Melinda adapts her approach to each person’s needs, combining empathic listening with goal-oriented techniques that encourage insight and action. She supports clients in strengthening self-esteem, improving communication, and coping with loss or major transitions.

Her work attends to both emotional healing and concrete strategies so clients can make meaningful changes in daily life. Based in Colorado and credentialed as an LCSW (CO LCSW 0366), she aims to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment plans to individual circumstances.

Melinda recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and offers collaborative support to help people take the next steps toward feeling more grounded and effective.

Bringing Client-Centered and Emotion-Focused Care Online



Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and support to help people access their own resources for change. This approach is useful for addressing self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and interaction patterns, particularly in relationships and attachment-related concerns; it can help those working through grief, trauma, or recurring relational conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melinda works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to goals, explores emotional patterns and practical needs, and tailors the plan so therapy aligns with the client's priorities and pace. That collaborative process helps clarify whether a client-centered focus, EFT techniques, or a combination will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Melinda uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, support ongoing communication between meetings, and make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals regardless of location.
