About Melodie
Melodie Heupel-Carney is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 23 years of experience in Oklahoma. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and major life changes. Melodie frames clients as experts in their own stories and works alongside them to address the problems that feel most urgent.
She uses practical therapy methods aimed at changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep problems going and trying new responses. Melodie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness to offer a mix of strategies.
In practice she breaks concerns into manageable steps. For example, treatment might include identifying negative thinking, testing those thoughts in daily life, and taking small values-based actions. Mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused conversations are added when they fit the client's needs.
Melodie has worked across many settings during her career and brings that experience to individual sessions. She emphasizes clear, direct tools people can use between appointments. Progress is discussed in concrete terms so people know what to try next.
People who choose her can expect straightforward, goal-oriented sessions that focus on what is most pressing. She supports clients as they test new ways of thinking and behaving and tracks changes over time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Melodie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses in day-to-day life, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and noticing thoughts without getting stuck, which can support coping with life changes and persistent worry.The right approach is typically decided together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what actually helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose techniques that fit the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still use the same practical exercises, homework tasks, and skills coaching that are used in person, adapted to work in a virtual meeting or other supported format.
