About Melody
She earned a Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2014 and holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials. Melody lives in Texas and has about ten years of experience working in inpatient psychiatric settings and emergency departments. Her clinical work has included adults from 18 to 95 years old.
In sessions she draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She uses practical tools and helps people build a personal toolbox of strategies they can use between meetings.
Melody says she is genuine and straightforward in session. She does not provide faith-based therapy or prayer as part of treatment and will recommend other providers if that is what someone wants.
Her focus includes stress, relationships, self-esteem, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and many other areas. Melody emphasizes keeping people functioning in their communities and working toward real options when crises arise.
