Melissa Mee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life chapters. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma, and women’s issues. Her approach aims to be warm, practical, and down-to-earth so people feel heard and understood.

Melissa prefers straightforward conversations that focus on what matters to each person. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy while staying flexible about what will help most. Sessions tend to emphasize real skills and small steps that fit into everyday life.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from Cedarville University and a master’s degree from Liberty University. Melissa is licensed in Idaho as an LCPC and draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience when supporting clients.

People come to her for help with relationship strain, anger, career stress, and the long-term effects of trauma or sexual assault. She also assists with caregiver stress, issues that arise from family of origin, and challenges tied to aging and loss.

In sessions she focuses on building coping skills, improving self-esteem, and clarifying life purpose. She offers a steady presence while helping people practice new ways of handling feelings and situations. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead, which can be useful for building self-esteem and processing grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical techniques to change them, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Melissa will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time based on what is helping.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
