Melinna Perez, LMFT

Approach and online sessions that meet you where you are

Melinna commonly uses Existential therapy to help people think through meaning, values, and life choices when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. This approach looks at questions about purpose and identity and can be useful during major life transitions or when someone is rethinking priorities.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach skills for accepting difficult emotions while taking steps toward a valued life. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of everyday goals. Client-Centered therapy shapes how sessions feel, focusing on listening closely and adjusting pace to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melinna collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adapts strategies over time so the plan fits the client's life and preferences.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family responsibilities.
