Melissa Eugley
My name is Melissa and I'm a licensed mental health counselor based in FL and licensed in Washington as well. I received my master's degree from Capella University. I've worked with adults in many different areas of behavioral health from outpatient to residential.
I have over 6 years of experience in providing counseling services with over 20 years of experience working in behavioral health, substance use and mental health.

First session
Most first sessions are about building rapport and getting to know what brought you to therapy. With the information gathered in the first session it will help us design a treatment plan that will assist you in reaching your goals. I want everyone to take at least one or two nuggets of information or different perspectives with them when the session ends.
Strengths
I meet people where they are at and provide a judgment free, safe zone to go along the therapy journey with them. I make suggestions/recommendations, but the therapy journey belongs to you, the client. I am able to approach clients and their issues/concerns by being flexible, casual, clinical, direct or gentle as I meet the clients' needs. I strive to bring the best therapeutic experience to everyone I encounter.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with those who are looking to make improvements in themselves and are looking to find those skills to do just that. I want clients to know that they are not alone and that they can heal. Most folks I work with are struggling with relationships (with others and themselves) anxiety, depression and how to improve in these areas of their lives.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I take a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, always prioritizing safety and pacing.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about getting unstuck, not getting rid of feelings. It helps you live a meaningful life with anxiety, sadness, or pain instead of waiting for them to disappear.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My job is not to “fix” the client—but to teach them a skill set they can eventually use without me.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a future-oriented, strengths-based approach that helps clients change faster by doing more of what already works. It’s less about analyzing problems and more about building solutions the client already has the seeds for.
