Melvin DuBard is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in both South Carolina and Oregon. He is also a certified Global Career Development Facilitator, and holds an Educational Specialist degree in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina as well as a Bachelor of Science in Business Education from Winthrop University.
With 15 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field, Melvin has worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. He is particularly effective supporting people dealing with depression, anxiety, career challenges, and those pursuing meaningful changes to move toward a better future.
Melvin aims to offer a welcoming, confidential, and safe space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and concerns. He emphasizes treating everyone with respect and follows the Golden Rule - treat others the way you want to be treated.
His approach is client-centered and solution-focused, grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles. Melvin works with clients to identify thought patterns that may be impeding progress and collaborates to create practical plans to address those patterns. He encourages clients to develop the skills to recognize and adjust those patterns independently as their circumstances evolve.
If his background and approach resonate, Melvin is available to help clients begin the work toward their goals.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care for most typical issues.
One of the key benefits is convenience - clients can meet with a therapist using the method that suits them best, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to get support and work toward their goals.
