About Melissa

Melissa Byerley is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience supporting people managing ADHD, anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative relationship that centers the client's own knowledge of their story and builds on existing strengths to regain confidence and cope with day-to-day demands. Melissa acknowledges how competing responsibilities can become overwhelming and encourages reaching out before stress becomes unmanageable.

Her approach values listening first and offering practical support tailored to each person's needs. She works with individuals facing relationship and parenting challenges as well as those seeking help with self-esteem and coping skills.

Melissa greets the decision to begin therapy as an important step and aims to help clients identify tools and strategies that fit their life. Her practice language is English and she holds an Indiana LCSW license, number 34006707A.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Melissa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and problem solving. For example, cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical coping tools for anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. Behavioral planning and organizational strategies support people managing ADHD by breaking tasks into manageable steps and strengthening routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to understand goals, preferences, and daily challenges, then tailors techniques and pacing so interventions feel relevant and doable rather than imposed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats offer scheduling flexibility and allow clients to access a licensed professional from where they are located in Indiana, helping maintain continuity of support when in-person sessions are not practical.
