About me
Hello! I am Melissa Romain, a licensed social worker with over 18 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I have worked in outpatient counseling and residential treatment settings and enjoy working with individuals who are looking to learn more about themselves and gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I have worked with individuals who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse or neglect, substance use, parenting issues, and adjustment issues as well.
I attended graduate school at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and currently teach as an adjunct instructor there as well. My approach to working with clients is strengths based and client centered. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and Trauma Informed Care. I believe that we are all the developers of our own path and my job is to help individuals develop skills and insight into how to make the best decisions for themselves each day.
Outside of being a therapist, I'm a dog mom to a 17 year old Pomeranian named Stanley and I enjoy yoga, kickboxing and weight lifting as my regular means of self care. I am currently only working limited weekend hours so please know that when looking to schedule. I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Romain. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Melissa is a fabulous, skilled therapist! She is creative and thoughtful in her feedback and sharing of tools and techniques. She also does a great job redirecting our sessions when I get off on a tangent or have breezed over something at which we could look closer. I'm very grateful!
Melissa has been a great help giving me the tools I need to care for myself. I’ve improved in my communication skills and feel like I can better express myself.
Melissa is amazing! She offers so many great ways to help me to deal with my anxiety!
Melissa is very down to earth and listens to help you work through your concerns. R
Melissa has been encouraging to me to change my old ways of coping. I am slowly seeing progress in my attitude towards my relationship with my husband. She has been awesome helping me thru the death of my grandson,whom I mourn for everyday. Thank you Melissa ❤
Shows interest in your conversation and conflicts while maintainininng professionalism. Does well at not making your struggles and concerns seem invalid or fake. Always has an article or video for you to help understand how to approach certain concepts and actively engages with you outside of sessions.
Supportive, patient, understanding, personable, relatable, great listener
