I received my Undergraduate Degree from Gannon University and my Masters Degree from Slippery Rock University. I specialize in helping women overcome anxiety, reduce stress levels, and support individuals in the LGBT community.

Reviews
Melanie in incredibly compassionate and supportive. I am continually impressed at her ability to recall the details of things I have told her over the course of many weeks, and help me find patterns and solutions for issues I am working on. I feel grateful to have had her guidance throughout this difficult time.
Melanie is a great listener who ha shelled me process my thoughts and feelings without judgement. She is honest about her expertise and provides me with resources when I ask questions about treatments she isn't specialized in. I appreciate her auntehticity and her kindness in session.
I had a wonderful experience with Melanie. She provided me with helpful skills and reassurance during a life transition that also helped in other aspects of my life. She was very detail oriented and insightful into my thoughts and feelings even when I didn’t want to be. Very thankful for her!
Melanie has made the transition to telehealth comfortable & professional. I look forward to our sessions every week and have seen a noticeable change in my life I the few months I’ve attended.
I am really grateful that I was paired with Melanie Lichtinger on BetterHelp. She is understanding, personable, and extremely intelligent and well-qualified. I look forward to my sessions because I know I am being listened to, and Melanie often asks me questions that help me to get to the root of my issues. I am making long-term, positive changes in my life and Melanie has been such a great help!
