Melanie Gordon, LPC

Melanie Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of professional mental health counseling experience. She also brings more than 20 years of work as a school counselor to her practice. Melanie focuses on everyday stresses like anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and life changes. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. She centers the conversation on each person's goals and strengths. She encourages clients to use creative outlets and artistic strengths when helpful. Melanie uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience in the lead. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, reachable goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress alongside areas like self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose. Melanie helps people process grief, postpartum challenges, and the practical sides of parenting and pregnancy when those topics arise. Beginning therapy with her starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that fits each person's needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Melanie commonly uses client-centered methods that let the person's priorities lead the work. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building the skills they already have. She also draws on solution-focused techniques that set clear, small goals to create forward movement over weeks rather than months. Cognitive behavioral ideas are part of the plan too, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. She will work together with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration is used to shape session goals and tools, and it can shift as progress happens.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people maintain continuity of care while balancing caregiving or work demands.
