Therapeutic approaches and online support
Melanie Lucas draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and helps the person explore their experiences and values - this approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating major life changes. Mindfulness therapy introduces practical attention and breathing practices to help manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions by increasing present-moment awareness and reducing reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melanie collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful. She discusses goals, preferences, and how interventions fit the client's life so the plan evolves together rather than being imposed.
Online therapy with Melanie is offered by registered professionals and includes flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and access support from different locations while still receiving focused, evidence-informed care from a trained therapist.
