More about me
Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 3 State: New Jersey
Hello and welcome, my name is Melissa Simonini and I'm glad you are here. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with 5 years of experience in the mental health field and 3 years as a women's trauma therapist. I have worked with clients and families in a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, trauma, addictions, and relationship issues.
I earned a bachelors degree in music from Rowan University and my masters degree in clinical social work with individuals and families from Monmouth University in 2016. I would describe myself as down to earth and I enjoy learning new things, creativity, and connecting to others.
My therapy style is non judgmental, honest, and compassionate. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to create a life worth living. My approach combines dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy and a strengths-based approach. I will do my best to get to know you and understand your unique needs.
It is a brave step to reach out for help and I look forward to working with you!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
