Melissa Murray, LCSW, CSW

Melissa Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She practices with respect and sensitivity and aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

She works with adults 18 and older on issues such as depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. Melissa also supports people facing career changes, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and adjustments after major life events.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and listening. She uses methods that help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and tell the stories that shape how they see themselves. Sessions are framed to address immediate concerns and build long-term skills for managing emotions and relationships.

With 12 years of clinical experience and the credential LCSW, Melissa blends structured techniques with a client-centered attitude. She aims to meet each person where they are and work at a pace that feels manageable. The goal is practical change you can use between sessions, whether that means reducing panic, improving sleep, or setting clearer boundaries.

Starting therapy is described as a courageous step. Melissa invites people to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How Melissa's approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape trust and closeness. In therapy this looks like talking about patterns in relationships and practicing ways to feel and connect differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression in daily life. It often involves simple homework like tracking thoughts or trying small experiments. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and active listening while clients lead the work.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Melissa will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. From there she helps decide which methods to try first and adjusts the plan as progress happens.

The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, make it easier to attend regular appointments, and allow short check-ins between work or caregiving tasks. Online work can also make it simpler to use written tools, screen-based exercises, and real-time practice of coping strategies during the week.
