About Melissa
Melissa McCauley-Burow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of therapy experience. She approaches care with calm, practical methods that help people manage day-to-day struggles. She uses clear, hands-on techniques to address concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, and grief.
Melissa blends several therapy styles to match a person's needs. She uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with strong emotions and relationship challenges.
Her background includes work across many issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She has additional focus on areas like chronic pain and illness, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life and hospice counseling. Melissa has learned to adapt her approach to the situation someone brings to a session.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. People can expect to talk about what’s most pressing, try concrete strategies, and practice skills between meetings. Melissa emphasizes small, manageable steps that add up over time.
Outside of work she spends time writing and traveling, and she practices mindfulness daily. She invites people to start where they are and take practical steps toward feeling more steady and capable.
