About Melanie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience, Melanie Wheeler focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood concerns. She works with people facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem problems, and life transitions. Sessions use client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and other practical approaches. Melanie practices in English and bases her work in Texas.
Melanie describes her approach as straightforward and goal-oriented. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused tools. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people shift habits and manage difficult emotions.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most to the person and then identifies small, practical steps to try between visits. She uses short skills practice, thought-challenging, and simple behavioral experiments when appropriate. Sessions often include checking current coping, building a plan for triggers, and reviewing what worked since the last meeting.
Her background includes work in inpatient care, residential programs, outpatient therapy, and community mental health. She also has experience providing virtual care and understands the adjustments that can take. That experience informs how she structures sessions to be focused and efficient.
Melanie asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides the work around what matters to them most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It uses exercises like thought-challenging and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new issues arise.
Confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking. Her prior virtual care experience shapes how sessions are organized to fit busy lives. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments, fit therapy into a workday, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the current scheduling and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
