About Melissa Adcock

Melissa Adcock, LCSW, CSW, is a master’s-level social worker and licensed clinical social worker who brings broad experience from more than 15 years in the mental health field. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with honors from Indiana University in 2005 and completed a Master of Social Work degree at Indiana-Purdue University in 2009. After receiving her clinical social work license in Indiana in 2011, she later became licensed in Colorado in 2015, bringing her work from the Midwest to the mountains.

Over the years, Melissa has supported people across many settings and life circumstances, which has shaped a well-rounded, practical perspective in therapy. She recognizes that putting feelings into words can be surprisingly hard, especially when fear, anxiety, or uncertainty feels overwhelming. Therapy can help bring those experiences into clearer focus, whether they turn out to feel smaller once spoken aloud or whether they remain significant and deserve steady attention and problem-solving.

Melissa’s style is relaxed and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused work, and motivational dialogue. She also emphasizes that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and she respects each client’s role in guiding the process. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves and move toward a life that feels more genuinely their own.

Skill-Based Therapy, Delivered Online With Flexibility

Melissa Adcock draws from practical, evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then building strategies that support steadier moods and more effective coping. It is often used when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt starts to shape daily decisions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, helping clients respond to intense feelings with more balance and intention. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and forward movement, centering on what is already working and what small, realistic steps can help life feel more manageable.

Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, Melissa approaches the process collaboratively. Together, therapist and client can clarify goals, talk through preferences, and adjust the approach over time so it fits the person rather than forcing the person to fit the method.

Online therapy also offers practical options: video calls for face-to-face connection, phone sessions for added convenience, and live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats can make it easier to keep care consistent around work, school, family responsibilities, or changing schedules.
