Kaley Melville, LMFT

Kaley Melville is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers work around the belief that each person is the expert of their own life. She focuses on helping people clarify their stories, strengthen their voice, and move forward with greater confidence and direction. As the owner of a private practice, she has spent the past six years working with individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s most difficult and transformative moments.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative and supportive, with a directness when needed, and she prioritizes creating a non-judgmental space where people feel heard and understood. Kaley specializes in healing from relational trauma, resolving communication breakdowns, navigating major life transitions, and addressing grief related to end-of-life concerns. She also supports those facing anxiety, depression, and high-pressure situations by combining compassionate attention with practical coping strategies.

Drawing on experience as an active professional athlete and a former Division I dual-sport collegiate athlete, Kaley brings particular insight into the demands faced by athletes. She addresses performance pressure, identity shifts after injury or retirement, body image concerns, burnout, and trauma related to athletic losses. Whether clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready to grow, Kaley collaborates to rebuild resilience and help them pursue the life they want to create.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Kaley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She offers trauma-informed work that focuses on processing relational and attachment injuries and building skills to manage triggers and intense emotions. This approach supports healing from abuse, relational trauma, and the aftereffects of high-stress experiences.

She also provides grief-focused support that helps people navigate complex loss and end-of-life transitions, combining compassionate listening with practical strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and daily functioning. In addition, Kaley incorporates skills-based interventions for communication and coping - practical tools to improve relationships, manage anxiety, and adapt during major life changes.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Kaley works with each client to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and personal preference. Together they determine which strategies best align with the client’s goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. Kaley provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most accessible. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions during transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located in Florida.
