Hello and thank you for stopping by. Right now you may be searching for some peace of mind and needing help to get there. Perhaps we could work as a team to find some good, solid problem resolution tools to help you get that relief and regain some emotional balance. We will use small measurable goals that add up quickly to a solution. That technique tends to remove a great deal of angst around issues and usually takes less time, which equates to less money spent. We can fit techniques and tools to your specific needs and requirements. Employment Assistance Program participants are welcome.
I am double board licensed with those credentials being Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist with over twenty years of counseling experience. The scheduling calendar is Saturday and Sunday mornings beginning at 7:00 AM. Most clients select weekly sessions that go 45 minutes.
If you are interested in pursuing this journey together, you can easily sign up on the platform and schedule for an initial session.
If you want to seek other therapists, no worries. You can change therapists by logging in to your account, clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the therapy page, and choosing "Change therapist" from the drop-down menu. Make sure you specify in the feedback what you are looking for. If you have any trouble with this, please reach out to the Member Success Team at [email protected].
Remember that wherever you go, whomever you choose, I just want you to get the help you need and start feeling better.
Respectfully,
Melody Flannery, MS, LCMHC, LCAS

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She has made me feel seen and heard while being gentle and kind from the depths of her heart. She has helped me incredibly in the short time we have been working together.
I love having Melody as my therapist she is very easy to talk to! I like the fact that she is very personable but most of all I feel like she just gets me!
Melody is everything you could ask for in a therapist. She can be trusted as both a professional, and as a friend. Her approach can easily evolve to fit any situation or topic and she does a great job pointing out the right areas to explore. I wouldn't choose anyone else for such an important contribution to my mental health.
I tried therapy 20+ years ago and it was miserable. I hated it and said I would never do it again. Thie experience was that bad. I found myself needing to talk to someone and went onto this app, after a few people messaged me. I saw one from Melody. What she said resonated with me so I started my journey talking to her. Many months later, it is the best thing I have ever done! Melody knows how to talk you off a ledge, talk you through the hard times and helps. You celebrate the good times. The experience I have with Melody is what I envisioned working with a good therapist would be like! I recommend Melody 1000%. If you are skeptical, like I was or fearful of therapy like I was, you don’t have to be with Melody.
Melody is knowledgeable, supportive and friendly. She’s a great person to have in my corner.
I’ve been seeing Melody for therapy, and she’s truly exceptional. She creates a safe space, listens attentively with thoughtful follow-ups, and shows genuine care by remembering details and offering empathetic support. She’s responsive to messages and scheduling needs, making the process seamless. Overall, Melody is a skilled therapist and wonderful person—warm, committed, and transformative for my mental health. Highly recommend! 5 stars.
I am just starting my therapy journey and Melody has been a perfect fit. She experienced and helped me start this process. I would highly recommend her.
Melody is focusing with me on my goals and taking a life coach approach.
Melody is a tremendous listener, framer of life events, prospective provider, helper of reflective evaluation on recent events and helping me unpack and sort what is happening! She provides a VERY productive session!! She is simply the best!
Melody is very understanding and compassionate which is exactly what I needed.
Melody is an excellent resource with many years of experience. Her knowledge gained through the years helps her to break down walls and interpret the best way to help her clients.
Today was my first session with Melody. She was very kind, and listened to my issues intently. She responded with great care and concern for my well being. I am looking forward to speaking to her next week.
Melody is the best therapist I have ever had. She is genuinely invested in my progress.
I have been in therapy my entire life and Melody is by far my favorite therapist!
Melody has made me feel very comfortable is helping me discover issues I have regarding relationships, chronic pain, shame, vulnerability, communication, overthinking, anxiety, etc. This has been very helpful so far.
Melody has helped me a great deal with solution based therapy. I trust her immensely. She’s given me amazing tools for my life.
