About Melody
Melody LeVane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works mostly with adults and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. Melody balances professional care with a down-to-earth style that aims to help people make real changes.
She earned a master of arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor. Over her career she has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, addictions, and life transitions. Her experience also includes working with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and attachment challenges.
Melody’s approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, collaborative, and holistic. She blends mind and body work and often uses mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral interventions alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and narrative techniques. In session she encourages clients to notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new habits that fit their daily life.
Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress. Melody aims to help people leave appointments feeling more capable and clearer about next steps. Outside of work she enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs named Monkey, Panda, Roxy, and Zoey.
If life feels like a fast roller coaster, Melody uses concrete tools and gentle guidance to help people slow down, reassess priorities, and move toward goals with more confidence.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life feels stuck or when people want to act differently despite painful emotions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, respect, and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to help people feel heard and understood; it suits those who want a supportive space to sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and try methods that fit the person rather than imposing a single model. Clients and the therapist check in and adapt methods as needed to find what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people use tools learned in session during everyday life. Different formats can suit different needs - for example, a shorter phone check-in can fit a work break, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional work.
