Getting to know Melissa Sonthonax

Hello! My name is Melissa Sonthonax, and I have seven years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Kaplan University. While I have worked with clients of all ages, my primary focus is on adults, especially those in their 20s and 30s. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with general anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, and other everyday challenges. I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused approaches. I understand that each person’s situation is unique, so I value creating individualized plans of action to address your specific needs. My goal is for you to feel free to express yourself while I guide you in identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. My counseling style is laid back, and I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. I like to focus on your strengths and help you build on them to move forward. Reaching out for help can be difficult, especially with someone new. I am here to meet you where you are and support you through this process. Currently, I offer online appointments (telehealth) for your convenience.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
