Melanie Whitthorne
,LMSW
With a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow and thrive, I bring compassion, authenticity and expertise to every session. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey toward self awareness , emotional balance and meaningful change.
I specialized in supporting adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationsipi challenges, life. transitions and trauma recovery. My. therapeutic approach integrates evidenced based practices-including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness based Interventions-tailored to each clients unique goals.
I have over 25 years of experience helping adults and families in crisis and life challenges. I am also a college professor of social work. I enjoy motivating, educating and empowering.
I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy the most. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate options to help you make progress. With CBT, we can look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and then behaviors.

"My experience at Online-therapy.com has been amazing. I had gone through a very tough and disastrous break up and my therapist has navigated me on my way to become more happy. The price is quite expensive, as a college student, but the support I have been able to receive is invaluable."

"When I first started this program I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d feel in the end but I can honestly say that I am feeling better. It took me two days to complete but I do feel better and I am definitely looking forward to my therapy sessions!"

"Some of the technology was a little wonky at first, but the customer service was quick to respond amd very helpful. I switched therapists to someone in the same state and that was a great decision. I'm getting more from this platform than I ever did from a regular in-person therapist and I am very pleased."
