About Melissa
Melissa Coyle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of practice experience. She works directly with parents and caregivers to address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, trauma and ADHD that affect daily family life.

In sessions she looks at attachment and communication patterns, impulsivity, and responses to traumatic events.

She also helps parents set limits, improve routines, and plan supports for school or therapists involved with their child.
Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented. Melissa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress and anxiety symptoms while keeping day-to-day life in view. She helps families break problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time.

BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Melissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and anxiety in ways that parents can use day to day. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic events and reducing post-traumatic stress symptoms through gradual, supported exposure and skills to manage intense reactions. This helps when past events are still affecting behavior and school performance.Another approach concentrates on practical behavior and attention strategies for children with ADHD. That work breaks tasks into smaller steps, builds predictable routines, and teaches caregivers consistent responses to impulsive or challenging behavior. These methods aim to make home and school routines easier to manage.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit the family’s needs. Decisions about techniques and pacing are collaborative and adjusted over time.
The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel, and make it easier to include school staff or other caregivers in planning. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, fitting sessions into a work or school break, and not needing extra travel time.
