01About Melody
Melody Surat is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Colorado. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem. Melody aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through hard moments and decide what matters to them next.
Melody uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals in focus. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help people notice and shift patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Her practice emphasizes clear, practical steps alongside listening. That can mean trying small behavior changes between sessions, working on communication skills, or unpacking painful experiences at a steady pace.
Melody explains options and lets clients choose the pace that feels right. People commonly bring concerns about abandonment, body image, social anxiety, or issues tied to pregnancy and childbirth. She also addresses control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Melody supports those navigating divorce, forgiveness, and the fallout from narcissistic relationships. With five years of experience as an LPC, Melody pairs straightforward talk with techniques to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She offers therapy in English and provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs and schedules.

How a client-centered and CBT mix works online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects back what the person says, helps clarify goals, and supports the client's own decisions about how to move forward. This approach is useful when someone wants to feel heard and build confidence in their choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavior experiments. CBT can help with social anxiety, low self-esteem, and recurring patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melody treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will explain options and try strategies together to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
