About Melissa

Melissa Romain is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 15 years of professional experience in behavioral health. She draws on client-centered and strengths-based principles to help people explore patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop practical skills for daily life.

Background and approach

Melissa has supported clients through depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, parenting and adjustment challenges, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her training includes psychodynamic perspectives and trauma-informed methods, which she combines with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Melissa has experience in both outpatient counseling and residential treatment settings and also teaches as an adjunct instructor at a local school of social work. She schedules sessions around limited weekend availability and offers multiple remote formats to accommodate different preferences and routines.

Integrating attachment and mindfulness into remote care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonding experiences, helping clients understand how these dynamics affect current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for addressing attachment issues, relational patterns, and family-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical strategies for noticing thoughts and sensations without immediate reactivity, which often aids with anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Melissa approaches that decision collaboratively. She draws from attachment-informed, client-centered, and solution-focused ideas to tailor sessions to a person’s goals and preferences, guiding clients toward techniques and perspectives that match their needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations. These formats support ongoing therapeutic work, skill practice between sessions, and timely check-ins while allowing licensed professionals to use the above approaches in ways that fit each client’s routine and goals.
