About Melody

Melody LeVane is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She trained in counseling psychology and has focused much of her work on adults, drawing on a trauma-informed, strength-based orientation that blends cognitive and mindfulness strategies.

Background and approach

Melody emphasizes a collaborative, holistic approach that attends to both thinking patterns and bodily experience. Her practice integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment and client-centered techniques, shaping practical tools for stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and a range of other concerns.

Melody aims to create an accepting environment where clients can examine long-standing habits, try new ways of responding, and develop skills to manage life transitions and recurring difficulties. Outside of work she enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs.

Approach, Collaboration, and Online Access

Melody commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaboration. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods align with the client's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use a mix of synchronous and asynchronous contact depending on what works best for the client.
