Melinda Labbe, LMHC, LPC

Melinda Labbe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting questions, and anger. She also supports people facing trauma, addictions, career stress, and issues tied to identity, including LGBT concerns.

Her approach centers on conversation and practical strategies. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage strong feelings. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness.

Sessions are described as interactive and client-centered, with attention to respect and sensitivity. Melinda aims to avoid labels and to focus on what each person needs in the moment. She combines different therapeutic ideas to make sense for the person she is working with.

Melinda has two decades of experience that include work with trauma from sexual or physical abuse, emotional abuse, and major life stressors. She has also supported people wrestling with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family stress, body image, and caregiving strain.

Practical goals often include better anger management, clearer communication, improved coping skills, and more consistent emotional regulation. To get started, a short matching questionnaire and a first session are used to set goals and a plan. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
