About Melinda
Melinda Labbe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She offers a direct, respectful approach that helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at making conversations feel grounded and practical.
Melinda uses a mix of therapy methods to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be taught for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Melinda also works with issues related to identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns and body image. Her background includes helping people navigate adoption and foster care, abandonment, and blended family challenges. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Florida.
Melinda has experience across many settings and brings practical tools rather than labels. She sees therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan as goals evolve. If someone is ready to try therapy, Melinda invites them to begin with a short questionnaire and scheduling step.
She encourages small, steady steps toward clearer communication, better coping, and healthier relationships.

Therapy approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to uncover those patterns and improve connection in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In a virtual visit, clients practice skills, track reactions, and try new responses between sessions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether attachment ideas, CBT, or other methods fit their goals. That decision can change over time as needs and priorities shift, and the plan is adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to use therapy regularly and fit it into a busy life.
