Individual Therapy Services

Welcome to Individual Therapy with Melanie McClellan, LCSW, MPH

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of anxiety, OCD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My approach is client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices to foster real change and growth.

Therapeutic Modalities

I don't use just one approach. I pull from multiple evidence-based modalities based on what the moment calls for.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

A highly effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety. ERP helps you break out of cycles of fear and avoidance by gradually facing what triggers anxiety—without relying on the behaviors that temporarily make it feel better. Over time, this reduces the intensity of the anxiety and helps you build real confidence in your ability to handle uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work on developing more balanced, helpful ways of thinking and responding. This approach is practical, structured, and focused on creating real, day-to-day changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT focuses on changing your relationship with your thoughts rather than trying to get rid of them. Instead of getting stuck in overthinking or avoidance, we work on making space for difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters to you. The goal is to help you live a meaningful life—even when anxiety or discomfort shows up.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on building skills to manage intense emotions, navigate relationships, and cope with stress more effectively. This includes tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness. It’s especially helpful if you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or find it hard to stay grounded in difficult moments.
