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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
