Melodie values the perspective that the individual is the expert on their own story and seeks to create a collaborative space where strengths and goals guide the process.

Online therapy approaches and telehealth options
Melodie integrates several evidence-informed methods when working remotely, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relational patterns and attachment concerns when those issues are relevant.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative: she works with each person to choose which strategies fit their goals and circumstances, and to adapt exercises and reflections for remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness techniques may be used to increase engagement and self-awareness between sessions.
Teletherapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect and maintain ongoing work.How long has Melodie practiced counseling?
