About Melanie
Melanie Mullins, LMHC, LPC, is licensed in New York and has eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career concerns, addictions, relationships, family-related issues, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. She works using approaches she lists as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Melanie uses plain, practical methods in sessions. She listens without judgment and helps people notice what they can control. Then she helps create steps to reduce anxiety and depression and to manage intense emotions. Sessions often include talking through current problems and practicing skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Her work addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge thoughts and ACT strategies to clarify values and goals. DBT-informed skills can be used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Melanie’s approach also draws on client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. She aims to teach concrete strategies so people can try different ways of coping between sessions.
She practices in New York and conducts therapy in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How Melanie Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice evolves as progress is made and new issues come up.
