01About Melissa
Melissa Caparitia is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Connecticut. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and trauma. Melissa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard things and find practical ways forward.
She uses a client-centered stance that focuses first on understanding each person's experience. From there she adapts tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment approaches to fit real life.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing sometimes helps when someone is ready to change habits related to substance use or other behaviors. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on clear goals. Melissa supports people who are sorting through life transitions, career questions, blended family issues, postpartum or pregnancy-related concerns, and struggles with self-esteem.
She also addresses caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, sexual assault, and young adult issues when relevant. Melissa earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling and holds the LPC credential and the LMHC credential as listed. She has three years of professional experience helping people identify steps they can take between sessions.
Her work emphasizes empathy, respect, and practical strategies to help people meet daily demands. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session. The process is collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to each person's goals and situation.

04Online support
How therapy methods shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unwanted thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and managing stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a respectful therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients clarify goals, try different strategies, and decide which methods feel most helpful. This is a collaborative path where methods are adapted to the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or from another convenient location. It also can make shorter check-ins or focused skill practice more practical when life demands are high. Talk with the therapist during the match process about scheduling and what will work best for your routine.
