About me

Dr. Melissa Serpico is a Licensed Psychologist based in Miami, Florida, offering telehealth therapy to adults across the state. She works exclusively with individual clients, ranging from young adults navigating early life transitions to older adults facing new chapters. Her clients often seek support for anxiety, mood disorders, and relational challenges that can surface during periods of change, uncertainty, or personal growth.

Dr. Serpico’s therapeutic approach is eclectic and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, and existential frameworks. She tailors her work to each client’s unique needs, helping them gain deeper insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building concrete skills to manage distress and improve daily functioning.

At the heart of Dr. Serpico’s practice is the belief that healing begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. Her style is warm, attentive, and nonjudgmental—grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. Clients are met where they are, with openness and curiosity, and invited into a collaborative process rooted in safety, understanding, and mutual respect.

Dr. Serpico’s extensive clinical training spans diverse settings, including community mental health, inpatient and intensive outpatient programs, older adult care, hospital-based consultation services, and the court system. She brings a depth of experience working with individuals navigating serious mental illness, trauma, complex family dynamics, and court-mandated treatment, always integrating principles of inclusivity, diversity, and human rights into her work.

Whether you are facing a specific life stressor or seeking deeper understanding of long-standing emotional patterns, Dr. Serpico offers a supportive and flexible online therapy space to explore your goals and move toward meaningful change.
