About Melissa
Melissa Rohrbach is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people regain balance after stress, loss, or big life changes. She brings five years of clinical experience and aims to help clients build practical skills they can use day to day. Her work often centers on recovery from substance use and managing mental health challenges.
Melissa helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. She guides clients toward clearer goals and steadier routines.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded. Melissa mixes listening with concrete tools so clients leave with something to practice between visits. She pays attention to how relationships, work, and past experiences shape current struggles.
Melissa uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s values. She also draws on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing difficult memories when appropriate. People come to her for many issues including anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and parenting stress.
She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and career transitions. Melissa works with LGBT clients and those dealing with intimacy or relationship challenges. Based in Missouri, she offers sessions in English and provides several online formats.
Getting started means completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time that fits your schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and values, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the person’s lead to build insight and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more helpful behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and mood challenges.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods to what feels most useful. Therapy may blend approaches over time so the plan matches progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching notes, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, and other daily routines.
