About Melody
Melody LeVane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 15 years of experience. She focuses mainly on adult clients and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Outside work she enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs.
Melody blends practical talk and experiential work. She uses mindfulness and cognitive tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Sessions also address relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, anger, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions.
Her style is collaborative and strength-based. She invites clients to notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit day-to-day life. Melody also incorporates body-based awareness when it helps someone feel more grounded.
Clients can expect a direct but compassionate approach. Melody helps people sort priorities, practice new responses, and create realistic steps toward their goals. She aims for people to leave sessions feeling more capable and less overwhelmed.
Therapy is presented as a process of self-discovery and problem-solving. Melody supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and other complex life situations. Her goal is practical progress delivered with empathy.

How Melody’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting the focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through problems and discover their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and grief.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. By learning to identify and test unhelpful thoughts, people can change patterns that maintain anxiety, insomnia, or mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melody will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as things change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for quicker check-ins, and make it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caregiving.
