About Melissa

Dr. Melissa Mielke-Metzger welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strains, ADHD, grief, and a wide array of life transitions.

Background and approach

She is a licensed psychologist practicing in Wisconsin with twelve years of clinical experience and a background that includes school-based work. Her training and practice have exposed her to both individual adjustment issues and challenges that arise in parenting, caregiving, and blended family dynamics.

Her work addresses practical problems such as impulsivity, panic attacks, communication breakdowns, and financial or career consequences of emotional difficulties, while also attending to deeper concerns like guilt, shame, life purpose, and midlife shifts. Dr.

Mielke-Metzger blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a pragmatic focus on everyday functioning and coping, helping clients build skills and strategies that fit their lives. She holds licensure in Wisconsin (WI Psychologist 3589 - 57) and Illinois (IL Psychologist 071.021026) and offers services using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care



One commonly used approach in her practice is cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Another frequently applied method is problem-solving and skills training geared toward managing impulsivity, stress, and everyday challenges such as caregiving or financial strain. These approaches emphasize measurable strategies and homework to support change between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. The choice of methods evolves with progress and is adjusted to meet changing needs over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and allow ongoing support when in-person visits are not convenient. These formats offer flexibility for follow-up, skill practice, and crisis planning while maintaining the same focus on evidence-based work and collaborative treatment planning with licensed professionals.
