01About Melissa
Melissa Rohrbach is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move forward from substance use and mental health struggles. She uses straightforward, goal-oriented work to help clients find clearer ways to manage stress and life transitions. Melissa aims to create a steady, supportive space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and take practical steps forward.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and build small, doable changes that add up over time. Melissa also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurts are part of what keeps someone stuck. Therapy can include exploring relationship patterns, examining how parenting or caregiver roles affect daily life, or addressing addictions and mood concerns.
She helps people who are wrestling with grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating problems, and work or career stress. Melissa also works with those affected by adoption and foster care, autism-related issues, and blended family dynamics. Her style is practical and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set clear goals and a plan. Sessions may involve talking, skill practice, and short exercises to use between meetings. Melissa has five years of clinical experience and practices in Missouri.
She provides services in English and does not take international clients. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Melissa's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people feel heard while they set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable pieces and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits related to sleep or eating.
EMDR, which is used for trauma, helps process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge. When past events keep someone stuck, this method aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so daily life is easier.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try a method, check how it’s working, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face dialogue and skill practice, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or work better with low bandwidth, and chat or messaging lets people send notes between meetings or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into work, school, or family routines.
