Melinda Brecht

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2013. I have a total of 15 years of counseling experience and have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including isolation/loneliness, self-love, life purpose, guilt and shame, self-harm, emptiness, chronic pain/illness, women’s issues, abandonment, workplace issues, and control issues. My counseling style is warm-hearted and collaborative and I provide an atmosphere of empathy and non-judgment so that clients can make their own decisions and choices. My approach combines talk therapy and psychodynamic therapy to help you achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. Much of my availability is during weekdays, but I check messages every evening, including weekends.
