01About Melakee
Melakee Nicholson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people find steady ground during hard times. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to guide practical steps toward feeling better. Melakee aims to listen without judgment and to help clients build tools that fit their everyday lives.
She uses a mix of approaches to match how each person thinks and copes. Sessions often include clear strategies for managing anxiety, stress, mood changes, and relationship or family concerns.
Background and approach
Melakee also addresses trauma, grief, identity questions such as LGBT concerns, and challenges like ADHD or chronic illness. Her way of working centers on collaboration. She takes time to learn what matters to each person and then helps them try approaches that feel useful.
That can mean changing unhelpful thinking, practicing new behaviors, or exploring emotional patterns tied to attachment and relationships. Melakee’s training includes two master’s degrees in counseling and human services, and an undergraduate degree in environmental policy and biology. She brings both clinical knowledge and everyday practicality to sessions.
Expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and concrete skills to practice between meetings. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats. People in Texas can connect by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once matched.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small actions that move you toward those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions include practical exercises to test thoughts and build new coping skills for stress, mood changes, and relationship strain.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand their emotional responses and improve connection and communication in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melakee will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then try approaches together to see what fits. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper emotional work. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
