About me

I am a licensed mental health counselor supervisor in Florida with over 20 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients struggling with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family/parenting problems, ADHD, domestic violence, and grief and loss. I also have experience working closely with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach to counseling will be tailored to meet your unique needs. Together we will set specific personal goals to set you up to succeed and reach the life change that you can make happen.

All it takes is the motivation to change and the rest we will discover, explore and experience together on your journey to growth.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Rini. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I worked with Melissa for about almost 3 years, and the only reason I stopped working with her was because she stopped working with Betterhelp. In those 3 years, she helped with everything. I had a rough past- I had been bullied for years and this had taken its toll on me. She helped me with my family problems- I had a narcissistic sibling who had hurt me for years and she helped me to cope with this, and not let this person have so much power over me. I went through a relationship with someone who I almost got married to and she helped me cope with the breakup. She helped me with my confidence, she taught me to take care of myself better and deal with negatives in my life in a healthy manner. I became a much stronger, healthier person because of her help, and I would genuinely recommend her to anyone that is struggling.
