Melissa Rohrbach , LPC

Melissa Rohrbach is dedicated to supporting individuals, families, and communities as they recover from substance use challenges and navigate mental health concerns. She focuses on fostering personal growth and strengthening interpersonal skills so clients can better understand their unique personalities and uncover new ways to realize their potential.

Working through individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, she offers a collaborative setting where people can address feeling stuck, manage stress from life circumstances, and adapt to major transitions. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional exploration to help clients move toward more fulfilling functioning.

Melissa holds an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and brings a compassionate, growth-oriented approach to her work. If someone is struggling with change, overwhelm, or difficulties in relationships, she invites them to reach out for support and to explore options for therapy together.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Support

Melissa uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening, and it is often helpful for people who want support exploring identity, relationships, or life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching concrete skills to change them. CBT tends to be useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and habits related to substance use.

When appropriate, Melissa incorporates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - an approach that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity through guided bilateral stimulation paired with therapeutic processing. EMDR can be considered for those struggling with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor techniques or combine approaches to fit the individual’s situation.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and locations. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving responsibilities, helping therapy fit into busy lives.
