About Melanie
Melanie Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of professional mental health counseling experience. She also brings more than 20 years of prior work as a school counselor to her current practice. Melanie focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and loss, and address parenting concerns and self-esteem challenges.
Her sessions are practical and straightforward. She draws on client-centered care, solution-focused strategies, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people set goals and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She invites clients to use creative strengths, such as art, when that feels helpful for processing emotions. Melanie emphasizes collaboration in the room. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.
Conversations move at a pace that feels manageable and concrete tools are offered for daily life. She is familiar with life transitions and the stress those changes create. Topics she commonly addresses include postpartum and pregnancy concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and questions about life purpose and identity.
Her approach aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming. Sessions are delivered in English and are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Melanie’s style is warm, steady, and focused on real steps people can take between sessions.
Online approaches that fit your day-to-day life
Melanie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different thinking or behavior patterns. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and improving confidence by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses solution-focused therapy, which focuses on setting clear goals and trying small, practical changes between sessions. That method can be helpful when someone wants quick, actionable ways to handle parenting challenges and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Melanie will discuss options and tailor techniques to the client's goals, pace, and preferences so the plan feels realistic and collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can happen by video call or phone, and for brief check-ins or written reflection she offers live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use different styles of support as needs change.
