Great to meet you!

If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or the weight of past trauma, you don't have to keep navigating it alone. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming worry, PTSD, grief, or the daily stress that feels impossible to shake — I want you to know that healing is possible, and it can start right where you are. I work with teens, adults, and seniors across Ohio, helping clients move from surviving to truly thriving. All sessions are online, making it easy to fit care into your real life.

My approach to therapy

I'm Melissa Hoskins, LISW-S, with over 20 years in the social work field — from early childhood to crisis care. In our sessions, I use a strength-based, trauma-informed approach rooted in CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I'm direct, empathic, and committed to building skills that make a real difference from day one.

What you can expect from me

I'm currently welcoming new clients in Ohio and accept Aetna, Anthem BCBS Ohio, Cigna, The Health Plan, and Carelon. Online sessions mean no commute — just care, on your schedule. If you're ready to take the first step, book your first appointment today.
