About

Melanie Walton is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama with 23 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. From an early age she felt drawn to helping others, and that guiding impulse shapes her work today under the simple motto, “How can I help?”

She has worked with individuals facing substance abuse, anger difficulties, parenting and co-parenting challenges, relationship problems including intimate partner violence, anxiety, depression, and both physical and psychological trauma.

Walton’s approach to therapy is direct and interactive. She prioritizes building rapport quickly, aiming to establish the therapeutic alliance within the first few weeks of work together. Every person is treated with respect, compassion, and genuineness.

She uses a range of treatment methods - including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused approaches, and person-centered techniques - and selects the approach that meets each individual exactly where they are. Treatment goals and objectives are developed based on a person’s strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences.

Walton holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Alabama (AL LPC 4351), which authorizes her to provide professional counseling services within the state. She views seeking help as an act of strength and courage and believes that changing one’s thinking can open the way to a more fulfilling, happier life.

When someone is ready to take that step she asks the same question that guides her practice: “How can I help?”
