About Melakee
Melakee Nicholson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier during hard times. She draws on a mix of approaches to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and major life changes.
She began counseling after searching for help in her own life and finding that the right fit matters. That experience shaped a simple aim: to offer clear, steady support and to help people move toward more peaceful, usable routines. Sessions emphasize empathy, listening, and concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
Melakee uses methods from cognitive and acceptance-based models alongside attachment-oriented and emotionally focused approaches. That blend allows her to address thoughts and behaviors, how people relate to themselves and others, and the feelings that show up in close connections. She also brings experience working with parenting concerns, caregiving stress, eating and body image issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her training includes two master’s degrees in counseling and human services with a marriage and family therapy focus. Melakee has about 10 years of counseling experience in a variety of settings. She applies that background in a down-to-earth way, helping clients set realistic goals and notice small changes that add up.
People who are dealing with life transitions, ongoing worry, trauma recovery, or the fallout from disasters will find a practical, steady approach. Melakee aims to collaborate with each person to identify what matters to them and the next best steps toward feeling more able to cope.
Using therapy approaches online to work through stress and trauma
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how someone connects and reacts; it can help with intimacy issues, grief, and family-related patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifyingThoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and practicing small changes to reduce distress and build new skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful and realistic for everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use video or audio to stay connected from different locations, while phone or other arrangements can work when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. These practical advantages help people maintain consistency in their care and try strategies between sessions.
