Getting to know Melissa Mckinney

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology based in Adel, Georgia. I work with clients 18 years and older, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, and life transition issues. I primarily work with clients utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in order to assist in identifying a life worth living and developing skills to obtain life goals and feel better overall. My approach My therapeutic approach is very person-centered, and I adapt my approach based on the needs of each client. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy framework in order to assist my clients in gaining insight into their reality and the underlying origins of behavior in an effort to work together to develop a clear course of treatment. My focus Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations and clientele. I have found my approach to be the best fit for young adults, and older adults dealing with stress and life transitions. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and behavior management issues. I work to help my clients build a strong foundation of effective skills in order for them to effectively manage emotions and navigate life transitions and stressors while also gaining confidence to advocate for themselves and their needs throughout their daily lives. My communication style Working from a Dialectical Behavior framework, my communication style is one of Radical Genuineness and non-judgment. I am myself during sessions and working with clients, and I strive to create an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming, and accepting. This means that I often practice the skills I am teaching during sessions. I recognize that we are all humans, and although I am a therapist, I experience struggles and overwhelming emotions as well as actively practice and model healthy skills with my clients.
