Getting to know Melissa McCarthy

Good day! My name is Dr. McCarthy or Dr. Melissa whichever name you prefer. I am not the famous "Melissa McCarthy" but I believe laughter is good medicine. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 15 years of experience. I am near Fort Worth, Texas working with clients state-wide via telehealth. My focus population is young adults (18-35 years old) who are experiencing stress or anxiety due to life transitions, situational circumstances, or athletic/academic performance pressures. My education includes AA/Business, BAS/Psychology, MA/Counseling, and PhD/Counselor Education & Supervision. My experience includes college campus counseling, trauma response, crisis intervention, individual, and couples counseling. My approach My therapeutic approach is dependent on the client's needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Solutions-Focused Therapy however I am trained in multiple modalities to best serve my client's needs. My design is client-centered and strengths-based which yields a better understanding of the client while establishing a trusting environment for positive results. My focus My client focus is anyone who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. Oftentimes, this age group needs someone to come alongside to help navigate the situation while providing empowering strategies to reach life's personal goals. My communication style My communication style is warm and interactive. I view therapy as a partnership that promotes mutual respect, sensitivity, compassion, and a nonjudgmental atmosphere in which to discuss the challenges you are currently facing.
