Melissa Adcock, LCSW, CSW

Melissa Adcock is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 11 years of mental health experience to her practice in Colorado. She holds a Master of Social Work - MSW - and practices as an LCSW and CSW, combining professional training with broad experience across populations and settings. Melissa draws on a relaxed, collaborative style that blends evidence-informed methods with a practical focus on everyday concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, family challenges, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Clients seeking support for issues like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career stress, or challenges related to adoption and foster care, blended families, aging, and end-of-life matters will find a therapist who has worked with diverse presentations and life stages. Melissa emphasizes a client-centered stance - listening first, then tailoring tools to meet each person where they are. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques to explore and shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical strategies to build coping skills, solution-focused and motivational methods to set and pursue achievable goals.

Melissa treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to clarify values, reduce overwhelm, and build practical strategies for change. She welcomes people from a range of backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and offers flexible options for connecting by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Melissa aims to create a respectful, empowering therapeutic experience that helps clients move toward a life that feels more like their own.
