Hi there, my name is Melissa and I'd love to be a support to you! I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan over 20 years ago and have worked in a variety of settings both as a medical social worker and as a therapist. I truly enjoy the strong relationships that I have built and consider myself lucky to enjoy my work every day. I have worked with a wide range of people experiencing a variety of struggles, including depression and anxiety, grief and loss and life changing transitions. These transitions may include from school to work, marriage or divorce, the birth of a child or an empty nest and changes in personal health or caregiving for a loved one. I utilize a variety of approaches to help you achieve your goal, tapping into your personal strengths and offering support and acceptance. I feel that working in a Person In Environment perspective can be validating and help people achieve their goals quicker. I also employ techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, recognizing that what works for one person may not work for everyone. I am excited to be a part of BetterHelp, with this platform allowing validation and support to be available to everyone, even with the hectic lifestyles many lead. I look forward to working together soon!

Michael Wilson
Thank you for reading my counselor profile. I have been a licensed (LPC) and certified (CRC) counselor for about 30 years. I have experience in a variety of rehabilitation and mental health settings. This clinical background has given me the opportunity to assist a diverse group of individuals with many different life issues. Fortunately, I have able to work with both younger and older adults throughout my career. My general counseling style is client centered. The tools I use are drawn from an eclectic group of counseling theories, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Of course, expertise and a solid theoretical base are important in effectively helping others, but every individual is unique. Therefore, everyone who seeks counseling has unique issues and deserves individualized assistance. No one is their "diagnosis" or "disability". The client is the expert on him or herself. Change can be difficult. My contribution, as a guide and partner, is to really listen, care, and share what has worked for others in situations similar to yours. Then, together, we can develop realistic goals leading to a better future.
