01About Melissa
Melissa Robles is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with five years in the mental health field. She has worked in schools, short-term inpatient mental health hospitals, clinics, and agency settings. Her background includes both group and individual work across a range of concerns.
Melissa aims to build trusting rapport and a warm connection from the first session. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, grief, and postpartum depression.
Background and approach
Parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career-related stress are common topics she addresses. Her practice mixes straightforward, goal-focused techniques with space to reflect on deeper patterns. Melissa uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She brings trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect daily life. She also draws from psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring themes and internal family systems to help clients understand different parts of themselves. Solution-focused strategies are used to set small, achievable steps toward change.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals rather than following one fixed method. People who prefer a warm, collaborative counselor will likely find Melissa approachable. She values multicultural awareness and aims to honor each person’s background and experience.
Practical tools and gentle reflection are balanced in her work to help people move forward.

04Online support
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Melissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with straightforward exercises and small homework tasks to practice between sessions. She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events are affecting current day-to-day functioning, helping clients process what happened and reduce distress tied to those memories.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Melissa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online appointments are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. Video is useful when visual cues matter and offers the closest feeling to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are helpful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles while keeping the focus on practical progress and collaboration.
