About Melody
Melody LeVane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works mainly with adults and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Her background includes an MA in Counseling Psychology from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor.
Outside work she enjoys cooking, crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs. Melody draws on a blend of approaches to meet practical concerns. She uses mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them. Narrative therapy tools are used to reframe personal stories and reduce shame. Therapy sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth.
Melody focuses on strengths and on what a person can do next rather than reliving every problem. She also pays attention to the body and how stress shows up there, inviting gentle practices when helpful. Parents will find support for parenting challenges alongside issues like anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, and sleep or eating struggles.
She also works with concerns such as trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life transitions. The aim is practical progress: clearer choices, steady coping skills, and realistic steps toward change. Melody guides clients through small experiments and skills practice so they leave sessions with usable tools.
Her style is warm, pragmatic, and hopeful.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and major life changes by making choices that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-based, teaching how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offering tools to change unhelpful patterns; this is often useful for anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the work, helping people feel heard and understood as they explore options.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, habits, and what feels doable. From there she will suggest techniques to try and adjust them based on what helps, working collaboratively to refine the plan over time.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
