Hello, and welcome to Better Help! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware and Pennsylvania. I have been a licensed Social Worker for over 13 years specializing in grief and loss, anxiety and depression, addictions counseling for families affected by addiction and most recently caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue. I have worked with clients of all ages including adolescents’, adults and older adults. My counseling style comes from a strengths-based perspective with a focus on assisting my clients in recognizing the many strengths they already possess while helping them to adapt those strengths to better manage the current crisis or situation they may be experiencing. I adapt my practice style to fit the needs of each client and will adjust my approach based on the goals and outcomes experienced throughout the therapeutic journey.

Melissa is wonderful to work with. She helps put things in perspective and makes things much more manageable in my life. Talking with her feels easy and natural. I look forward to seeing her each week and hearing her opinions.

I'm very pleased with the work I've been doing with Melissa. She's able to draw information and point out connections that I hadn't noticed before, which allows me to identify contributing factors that I hadn't considered.

Melissa is a great listener/conversationalist. She's more laid-back which I prefer as it feels more comfortable than a strict Q&A session. It's still early, but I feel comfortable with working on some goals with her.
