More about Melanie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care for adults seeking meaningful healing and growth. I specialize in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma recovery, and life transitions.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients overcome communication barriers, social anxiety, isolation, and profound personal challenges. I have extensive experience supporting women through significant life changes, including divorce, caregiver stress, and chronic health conditions. My practice creates a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner strengths, rediscover purpose, and develop resilient coping strategies.
I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering a warm, non-judgmental space to explore personal growth and emotional well-being. Together, we'll work collaboratively to transform challenges into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
