About Melinda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 9 years of experience, Melinda Dunbar helps people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, depression, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as addictions, parenting stress, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for clients located in Texas.
Melinda uses approaches drawn from attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and EMDR. She focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. That can mean looking at thought patterns, practicing new ways to communicate, or processing past events that continue to cause pain.
Her style is collaborative. She talks with people about what matters most and sets goals together. Therapy often includes short-term strategies for coping plus deeper work on relationships and attachment when needed.
Melinda emphasizes understanding how past relationships shape present behavior. She helps clients notice patterns like codependency, control issues, or fear of abandonment, and then build alternatives that feel manageable. Sessions cover both immediate concerns and longer-term emotional patterns.
She holds a TX LPC credential. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. In online sessions this means talking through how attachment styles show up in relationships and practicing different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead to identify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and concrete skills to try between meetings.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Melinda will discuss options, test what fits, and adjust methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for simpler check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match your schedule and communication needs.
