Melissa Coello

If you're moving through a major life transition, feeling weighed down by anxiety and burnout, grieving a loss, or navigating relational stress and trauma, I'm here to help. I work with individuals, couples, and co-parents, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and tailoring my approach to what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all method. I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in both Texas and California, and I'd love to work with you.

I am an active, warm therapist who brings humor, authenticity, and directness to our sessions. Rather than sitting back silently, I believe in working together as a team. While I do not have all the answers, I am committed to supporting and guiding you toward a path of hope, meaning, and purpose. I provide the psychological tools, but you are the expert on your own life. We will move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you.

Coming to therapy can feel intimidating, so I make our first session as painless as possible. We’ll have a warm, conversational discussion about what’s going on in your life right now.

By the end of our first hour, you'll leave with a clear, honest picture of how we can work together to get you unstuck.
