About Melinda

Melinda Andre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia with 22 years of experience working with individuals and families in crisis. She brings a broad background that includes training in transformative mediation for civil and domestic relations, and a long history of helping with reunification between parents and children, addiction recovery, domestic violence, anger management, stress reduction, and overall family wellness. Her work also extends to parenting support and interventions for children who present with behavioral challenges or a range of special needs.

Her therapeutic stance balances respect and empathy with a focus on measurable progress. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods to create a treatment plan tailored to each person or family. Known for being goal-oriented and forward-thinking, she emphasizes open dialog to identify priorities and practical steps toward lasting change.

Change can feel intimidating, and Melinda approaches that process as a partnership. She aims to empower people to regain a sense of control over the issues they face and to build the skills needed for sustained improvement in relationships, coping, and daily functioning.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Melinda uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s values and goals guide the work - this approach is useful for building trust, improving self-esteem, and addressing life transitions. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool she uses to help partners and family members understand emotional responses and strengthen attachment and communication within relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melinda collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs and preferences. She assesses goals, symptoms, and relationship patterns and then combines techniques to best support progress.

Online therapy with Melinda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent sessions, integrate therapy into daily life, and access licensed professionals from varied locations, including international clients.
