Melissa Adcock

Melissa Adcock is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, career concerns, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life changes. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings practical, down-to-earth support to conversations about mood, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and LGBT issues. Melissa works from Colorado and uses straightforward talk to help people sort through what feels overwhelming.

She keeps sessions focused and collaborative. Melissa listens first, then helps set realistic goals and small steps to move forward. Expect a mix of approaches that look at thoughts, skills, and concrete problem-solving rather than long lectures or rigid rules.

Melissa trained in social work and has 11 years of professional clinical experience. That experience includes helping people manage anger, cope with family and adoption-related issues, and handle end-of-life and hospice concerns. She has worked across different settings, which informs a flexible, practical approach to care.

In her sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with tools to manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns.

Approaches Melissa Uses for Online Work

Melissa often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort out feelings and build confidence in their decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful thinking and routines. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Melissa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This may mean mixing approaches and adjusting based on what helps most over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use sessions from different locations when they need to, and it supports steady work on goals between appointments.
