About Melissa
Melissa Annechino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people navigate work and wellbeing concerns, career shifts, and personal change. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and listens without judgment to life stressors that feel heavy or confusing. Her approach blends practical tools with reflective conversation to help clients move forward.
She uses several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed style. Sessions often look at current thinking patterns, personal meaning, and how stories from the past shape present choices. This mix can help when someone wants clearer thinking around work decisions or wants to rebuild self-esteem after a setback.
Melissa brings 11 years of clinical experience and a long background in helping roles. That experience informs how she supports people through compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also addresses questions about life purpose and women’s issues in the context of daily life and work.
In sessions she encourages reflection and practical steps. That might include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new ways to approach a problem, or naming values that guide decisions. The goal is steady progress rather than instant fixes.

How Melissa’s approaches translate to online work
Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that are easy to adapt to online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often involves setting small tasks between meetings and reviewing progress together. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress, work pressures, and seasonal mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melissa will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Decisions about which approaches to use are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist’s practice. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on workdays, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep momentum when addressing career decisions, compassion fatigue, or shifting life priorities.
