About Melakee

Melakee Nicholson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and codependency among other areas.

Melakee trained with graduate degrees in professional counseling and in marriage and family therapy. She uses practical talk and reflection to help people find clearer next steps. Sessions are conversational and focused on what a person wants to change or understand about their patterns.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. That mix lets her address thoughts and behavior, how relationships shape feelings, and the values someone wants to live by.

People often come wanting to stop putting others first, set better boundaries, or manage anxiety and mood. Melakee helps people notice repetitive patterns, learn small skills for coping, and practice new ways of responding to stress and conflict.

Her background includes two master’s degrees and a bachelor’s in environmental policy and biology. Melakee combines clinical knowledge with straightforward, goal-minded conversation. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients try concrete steps between sessions.

If someone wants to explore issues like codependency, attachment wounds, parenting stress, or career strain, Melakee offers a steady, practical approach. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It helps when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by thoughts and wants to live by what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and adult relationships shape patterns now and helps people identify and shift those patterns for healthier connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melakee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as sessions progress so clients have a say in how therapy unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let someone join without needing to be on camera if that suits them. Licensed professionals, including Melakee, use these practical options to help people build skills, practice boundaries, and address codependency and relationship patterns while working around daily routines.
