Melanie Walton
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with over 20 years of experience. I've always had a desire to help people even as a little girl. My motto in life is "How can I help?" I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including substance abuse, anger issues, parenting/co-parenting problems, relationship issues, intimate partner violence, anxiety, depression, and physical/psychological trauma. My therapy style is direct and interactive. I believe in building rapport in order to establish the therapeutic alliance within the first few weeks of therapy. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and genuineness. I prefer a variety of approaches to treatment such as cognitive-behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, and person-centered treatment just to mention a few. However, the approach selected will meet the individual exactly where they are. Treatment plans' goals and objectives are formulated based on the individual’s strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences. It takes strength and courage to invest in a more fulfilling and happier life. Thinking for a change will assist in gaining a new perspective and outlook. So if you are ready to take that step, then I ask, "How can I help?"

It can be difficult opening up to people and asking for help. I want to applaud you for taking this first big step towards accomplishing the goals that you have for your mental health. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have worked in this field for 6 years. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of North Alabama. My approach to treatment is like we are taking a road trip. You are driving and decide where we're headed, how we get there, and where we stop along the way. I sit beside you and hold the road map and make suggestions. If the car breaks down, I don't fix it for you, but help you to figure out the tools you need to address the issue yourself. While I might not have all the answers I am willing to go on this journey with you to help you become the version of yourself that you want to be.

I’m so glad you’re here. I believe therapy should be a safe and encouraging space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judgment. My approach is exclusively text-based, offering a structured yet flexible way to process emotions, recognize recurring thought patterns, and create meaningful change—all at your own pace. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness with the Patterns & Pathways (PAP) framework, a method designed to help you: ✔ Recognize emotional and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back. ✔ Reframe unhelpful thought loops and develop a healthier mindset. ✔ Strengthen self-awareness and create new pathways aligned with your goals. Why Text-Based Therapy? More Space for Reflection – Writing gives you time to slow down, process your emotions, and gain deeper insight without feeling pressured to respond immediately. Structured Yet Flexible – You can revisit our conversations anytime, helping you track patterns, recognize progress, and reinforce growth. Less Pressure, More Openness – Many people find it easier to express themselves in writing, allowing for deeper self-exploration and clarity. Practical & Actionable – Our sessions will focus on recognizing patterns, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and developing tools you can apply in daily life. I know that therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time—growth can be empowering, even uplifting, and sometimes a little humor helps too! Whether you're navigating anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I’m here to support you. Let’s work together to create the change you’re looking for—one message at a time.
