About Melody
Melody LeVane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 15 years of experience. She works mainly with adults and brings a straightforward, caring manner to sessions. Melody helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions.
She focuses on blending mind and body approaches and draws on somatic work alongside mindfulness and cognitive tools. Sessions tend to be collaborative - clients talk about what is happening, try small changes, and notice what helps.
Background and approach
Melody aims to offer practical coping skills as well as space to make sense of difficult feelings. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and many years practicing in Texas. Melody describes her style as trauma-informed and strength-based, which means she looks for resilience as well as patterns that cause pain.
She also integrates ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. In the room, Melody helps people experiment with new habits and ways of relating to themselves. That might mean learning breathing and body-based strategies, practicing new thoughts, or committing to small actions that match personal values.
The work is meant to be doable between sessions. Outside of practice she enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and time with family and four rescue dogs. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on helping people feel more capable and steady as they move forward.
How somatic and mindfulness approaches work online
Somatic Therapy helps people tune into body sensations and how they relate to emotions and reactions. Online sessions can guide gentle breath work, grounding practices, and awareness exercises that make it easier to notice tension and begin to shift it.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are hard. In teletherapy this often includes short experiential exercises, values-mapping, and practical steps to try between sessions to build momentum.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace. That supportive stance makes it easier to explore difficult topics in remote sessions and to find what feels right for each person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test techniques and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying body-based strategies, mindfulness tools, or cognitive tasks and seeing what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video lets the therapist observe body language and guide exercises live. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings and practice new skills in the moment. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady progress moving forward.
