Getting to know Melanie Bellizzi

Hello, my name is Melanie Bellizzi, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut, working with clients via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Springfield College. I work with adults and adolescents, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, and substance use disorders. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help clients make progress toward healthier lives. My approach My therapeutic approach is rooted in a client-centered and strengths-based perspective. I create a safe and empathetic space where clients can openly discuss their concerns and goals. I see myself as a supportive guide, helping clients navigate life’s challenges. My focus I work with individuals and families facing issues including mental health challenges, substance abuse, domestic violence, child welfare concerns, aging, and disability. I provide support, counseling, and resources to help improve quality of life. My communication style I prioritize active listening and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves. I adapt my communication style to the unique needs and preferences of each client, recognizing diverse backgrounds and experiences. My goals for you Goal setting is a critical part of therapy. Clients identify objectives, develop plans, and are empowered to take control of their lives. I believe clients should be active participants, with their preferences and values guiding their goals. My first session with you In the first session, clients can expect active listening, empathy, and collaboration as we build trust and rapport. My goal is to create a supportive, client-centered space where clients can explore concerns and begin their journey.
