About Melissa
Melissa Eugley is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. She brings a calm, practical style that aims to make hard problems feel more manageable. Melissa presents herself as a steady guide during difficult changes and emotional ups and downs.
She uses straightforward methods to help people build coping skills and steady routines. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps clients can take between meetings. Conversations often include practicing mindfulness, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying new ways of responding to triggers.
Melissa combines several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to clarify values and set actionable goals. When trauma or intense memories are part of the problem, she also references EMDR-informed ideas and DBT skills for emotion regulation.
Her background includes six years of clinical experience and licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She is licensed in Florida and works with adults who want to reduce symptoms, manage impulses, or rebuild a sense of agency after setbacks.
People meet her for help with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and relationship patterns like codependency and communication problems. The work aims to increase practical coping, reduce overwhelming reactions, and support clearer choices in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Melissa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT is about learning to live around difficult thoughts and still move toward chosen goals, which can help with anxiety and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common element in her work. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel stress and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is practical and often centers on homework between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Decisions about which approach to use grow from the client’s needs and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are possible. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sessions can also support steady practice of mindfulness and skills between meetings, helping tools translate into everyday life.
