About Melody

Melody LeVane is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience in Texas. She works primarily with adults and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Melody aims to help people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting struggles, addiction concerns, grief, and other life challenges in clear, manageable steps.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and long experience with adults, couples, adolescents, and both traditional and non-traditional families.

Background and approach

Melody blends talk work with body-aware practices and draws on several well-known methods to match an individual’s needs. Sessions focus on simple, usable tools. Melody uses mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change daily habits.

She also incorporates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative ideas to help people clarify values and rewrite the stories they tell themselves. Her style is collaborative and strength-based. She helps clients notice patterns, try small experiments, and build skills for things like sleep, eating, parenting, and managing anger.

The work combines practical problem-solving with attention to emotional and physical responses. Outside of sessions Melody enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs. She aims to guide people toward feeling more capable, hopeful, and steady as they navigate life’s ups and downs.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It tends to be straightforward and skill-oriented, with exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melody collaborates with clients to blend methods and adjust techniques to match each person’s goals, preferences, and life demands. She listens first, then introduces tools and practices that feel manageable for day-to-day living.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy families and people with limited time or travel ability. Sessions by video or phone allow real-time conversation, while chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or homework follow-up. The range of formats helps people stay consistent with care and apply new skills in the moments they matter most.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
