About Melodie

Melodie Heupel-Carney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with depression, or coping with major life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction, and self-esteem concerns.

Melodie centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and focuses on small, steady steps. Conversations are practical and direct, aimed at building confidence and clearer choices.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on emotionally focused ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive tools, and client-centered listening. That mix is used to clarify feelings, identify patterns, and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are added when they fit a person's goals.

Over two decades of practice have included work with people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship problems like communication and commitment struggles. She also has experience with domestic violence, substance issues, and disruptive mood concerns. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step. Melodie aims to support each person’s strengths and help them take workable steps toward change.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and patterns that show up in relationships and personal decisions. Online sessions can support that work by creating space to reflect, rehearse new responses, and track emotional shifts over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on making room for difficult thoughts while moving toward chosen values. In remote sessions, ACT techniques like values clarification and behavioral experiments can be planned and reviewed between meetings to test what works in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration. That stance guides how the therapist responds in video, phone, chat, or text formats - offering validation and helping clients feel heard while they explore goals and options.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and comfort with different ways of working. Sessions may shift emphasis as progress or new concerns appear.

Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or homework review between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy life.
