About Melinda
Melinda Labbe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and men’s wellbeing concerns. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at making people feel heard and respected from the first conversation.
She works with people who face trauma, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. Melinda also supports those navigating career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the fallout from domestic violence or separation. Her additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, and kink-aware concerns.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That means sessions tend to mix practical skill work with emotional exploration and a steady focus on relationships. Melinda adapts the work to match each person’s goals and pace.
Across 20 years she has worked in varied settings with people facing both everyday stress and complex life events. She aims to reduce shame and stigma, offering steady, respectful guidance rather than judgment. Conversations are tailored so people leave with clear next steps they can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current bonds and communication patterns. It helps people understand how their attachment style shows up in stress, intimacy, and conflict, and guides practical changes in how they relate to others.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist offers nonjudgmental listening and reflection so the client can explore feelings, make choices, and build self-trust. This approach can help with depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new coping behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by pairing thought work with straightforward behavioral strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that seem most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make the work easier to fit into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between responsibilities. If you rely on sessions that do not require video, those options can make check-ins shorter or use less bandwidth; confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and session length so the practical setup matches your routine and needs.
