Melissa Quigley, LPC

Melissa Quigley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also notes work with codependency and related areas such as abandonment and attachment issues.

She has worked in intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, community behavioral health agencies, and school settings across the Philadelphia region. She has also provided clinical supervision and directed programs, and seen clients in private practice. That background means she brings experience from both acute care settings and ongoing outpatient work.

In sessions she uses practical approaches drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy. Conversations tend to be interactive and down-to-earth. She focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions while also exploring patterns that keep them stuck.

Melissa describes her style as laid back and respectful. She works with clients to shape session goals and treatment plans to match what each person wants to focus on. She also has training in crisis management and de-escalation from her work in higher-intensity settings.

People often come to her when they feel overwhelmed by someone else’s needs, keep putting others first, or struggle to set boundaries. She supports practical skill building alongside looking at how past relationships influence present choices.
