About Melissa

Melissa Coyle, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience supporting children, teenagers, and families through current and past challenges that affect daily life. She specializes in working with young people and their caregivers who are navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety and stress, autism, parenting concerns, and school-related difficulties. In addition to these areas, her practice addresses attachment issues, communication problems, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress.

Melissa approaches families with an assumption that each person is doing the best they can given their history and resources, and she aims to build practical strategies that reduce barriers to wellbeing. Her work blends compassionate listening with concrete tools so families and children gain skills to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and feel more confident in everyday situations. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a professional credential for clinicians trained in assessment and therapy that qualifies her to provide clinical services in New York.

Based in New York, Melissa helps caregivers and young clients find clearer routines, stronger communication, and more effective ways to cope with stressors that interfere with learning, parenting, and family life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support for Families

Melissa uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on helping children and caregivers understand and process the effects of stressful or traumatic experiences. These methods aim to improve emotional regulation and reduce the impact of past events on daily functioning. She also offers family-centered therapy that works with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication, set consistent routines, and resolve conflicts that affect the whole household. For attention and anxiety-related concerns she applies skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for managing impulsivity, improving focus, and reducing worry.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa collaborates with families to identify the techniques that best match a child or caregiver's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.



Online therapy with licensed professionals like Melissa provides flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so families can choose what fits their schedules and comfort. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent care, follow up between sessions, and access support from home or while managing school and work commitments.
