About Melodie

Melodie Heupel-Carney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience. Licensed in both Oklahoma and South Dakota, she has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, depression, and those navigating major life changes. Melodie approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them recognize strengths and resources they already possess to meet difficult challenges.

She emphasizes the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients and therapist work together toward meaningful change. Melodie aims to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward growth, offering guidance, validation, and practical strategies tuned to each individual’s needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Melodie draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform her online work. ACT helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported as they explore personal challenges. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for stress, low mood, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Melodie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Melodie can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer not to travel. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and connect with a licensed professional from a comfortable setting.
