About Melissa
Melissa Annechino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her work also addresses guilt and shame, life purpose, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
She uses a mix of therapeutic approaches rather than a single method. Melissa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential and Jungian ideas, Mindfulness practices, Narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Conversations tend to look at how thoughts, stories, and daily habits shape what someone does next.
In practical terms she helps people clarify values and make choices when life shifts - for example after career changes, loss, or burnout. She also works with people who feel worn down by caregiving or work demands and want better ways to manage feelings and boundaries. Therapy includes talking, reflecting on personal stories, and testing new behaviors between sessions.

Her background emphasizes long experience in helping roles and ongoing learning. That practical experience shapes how she supports people sorting out what matters next and finding steps they can try in everyday life.
How her approaches fit into online work
Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce distress and improve functioning. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility to help people clarify what matters when life feels uncertain.She also draws on Jungian ideas and Mindfulness practices to help people notice recurring patterns and cultivate steadier attention to feelings and symbols. Narrative therapy is used to examine the stories a person tells about themselves and to consider alternative storylines that open up new options.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps.
