About Melissa
LMHC in New York with 11 years of clinical experience, Melissa Annechino focuses on self esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults to address guilt and shame, life purpose, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-love, women's issues, and workplace challenges. Melissa uses several therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Jungian ideas, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to guide her work.
Melissa favors plain conversation and focused exercises. In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and try small behavioral changes. She also uses reflective questions and storytelling techniques to help people make sense of life transitions and long-term patterns.
Her background includes more than a decade working in mental health as a licensed mental health counselor. That experience informs a practical style that moves between short-term goals and deeper self-reflection. She aims to balance concrete coping skills with attention to meaning and personal narrative.
Clients who bring workplace stress or compassion fatigue will find direct strategies for boundary-setting and self-care. For issues like SAD or career change, Melissa combines behavioral planning with attention to values and purpose. When guilt, shame, or questions of identity appear, she draws on narrative and Jungian ideas to explore personal stories and symbols.

How her approaches work in remote sessions
Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress, useful for workplace stress and mood shifts. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility to help people facing life transitions or searching for purpose. Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves, helping to separate problems from identity and rewrite limiting narratives.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Melissa will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can shift over time as a client tests strategies and reflects on what helps.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow brief check-ins when fitting a full session is difficult. Some methods translate well to remote conversation and short skills practice, while others may use written reflections or guided mindfulness exercises between meetings. If you want to know which formats she currently offers, check the session options when scheduling.
