About

Melakee Nicholson, LPC, brings a decade of professional practice and dual master level training in counseling and marriage and family therapy to her work in Texas. Her academic background includes an M.A. in Professional Counseling and an M.A. in Human Services with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University, as well as a B.S. in Environmental Policy and Biology from Western Maryland University. Nicholson frames therapy as a collaborative process that draws on a range of clinical approaches to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

She blends evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered strategies, and existential perspectives to help individuals explore values, patterns, and meaningful change. Nicholson emphasizes working alongside each person to identify practical skills and insights rather than labeling someone by their struggles. Her scope also includes work with parenting, adoption and foster care, chronic health concerns, ADHD, and occupational and caregiving stress.

Nicholson’s approach is guided by a commitment to thoughtful guidance and steady presence. She seeks to support people who are navigating life transitions, relational ruptures, and complex emotional responses by offering structured methods and empathic engagement.

Remote therapeutic options and approach



Melakee Nicholson provides online sessions that combine structured skill work with relational exploration. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take workable steps toward what matters to them, paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought patterns and coping strategies. These approaches are offered in a collaborative manner, with the client and therapist deciding together which techniques to emphasize based on the person’s goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are also part of her online practice when relationship patterns or connection experiences are central to the presenting concerns. In those cases sessions focus on understanding relational dynamics, expressing emotions in ways that promote insight, and identifying new interactional responses.

Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Nicholson aims to match method and format to the client’s needs so that the therapeutic work can proceed through a modality that fits the individual’s circumstances and preferences.
