Hello! My name is Melody Anderson, CMHC. As a therapist, my hope is to provide a safe space for you to explore the issues and concerns in your life that are inhibiting your growth, healing, and ability to move forward. I have an irreverent approach to life and am awkward and a bit silly in my attitude and goals. No one person is the same and I seek to help you rediscover you.
I have been fortunate and lucky to have worked with different people, races, culturals, sexualities, identities, spectrums, ages, and goals. Further, I’ve worked with substance use, domestic violence victims and perpetrators, people going through grief and loss, depression, anxiety, sexual identity crisis, and personality disorders. I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy with an emphasis on Person-Centered Therapy (finding out what you value and finding ways to incorporate those beliefs into your everyday life.)
I am married and have five adult children and a tween (5 girls and a boy.) I have a basset hound: Ginger Longbottom Spice. My hobbies include camping, fishing, boating, reading, crafts and being a grandparent. The quote I live by is, “Those who can, should.”

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Really supportive and helpful
I love therapy with Melody!!!
Melody has been the first therapist I've truly connected with. Not only did I feel as though she listened to me and understood who I was, but I also felt that she understood what my goals were and knew how to help me achieve them. She was always supportive and kind, and it is obvious she has lots of experience because it felt like she always knew how to help. Melody empowered me to understand and accept myself on a deeper level while working towards becoming a healthier and happier me. I am incredibly grateful for Melody and all of her wisdom in helping me achieve my goals.
Mel has positively impacted my life. She is knowledgeable, scientific, understanding, and compassionate. As a fellow health care worker, I admire her passion for person centered care. I had never worked with a therapist before and Mel helped me become more aware of my feelings and how to cope and understand them. I admire Mel and her dedication to her clients. She is amazing and I’m hoping to keep working with Mel as long as I can!!
Mel is AMAZING. She has all of the knowledge, resources, humor, and compassion one would hope to find in a therapist. She offers a vantage point that I often haven’t seen myself, yet still connects and affirms my point of view. Incredibly helpful and honest. As long as she is offering her services, I am with her for life!
Melody is the best ever. I have had a lot of therapists, but she is one I truly connect with. I’ve always thought therapists care because they are paid to care - I just know that Melody cares. I don’t think she would care any different if she wasn’t being paid. I genuinely look forward to talking to her. She is so understanding, so real and just fun too. She is number one the person I want to talk to! ❤️ never changing my therapist ever
Melody is the best even when I forget to log in she reaches out to check in on my and remind me to be better.
Melody rocks! More later
I stopped therapy for a little due to life events but I’ve been waiting and excited to work with Mel again. She’s so real and caring, I’m that we matched.
I love Mel. She takes the time to listen and understand. She helped me gain clarity on my situations. She helped me with boundaries. Saying no. Saying yes. Self care. She is an absolute angel in my life. She has created healing inside my psyche that I feel like only she could have healed ❤️
Meloday is a great therapist. She is very friendly, listens and recommends concrete actions. I would highly recommend her to others. She is very relatable and professional
I like Mel is resourceful and knowledgeable and regularly checking in to see how I am doing.
Melody makes time for me and listens to my needs. She is able to help me identify and communicate what I need to improve my relationships and be more confident in who I am. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Mel is truly exceptional. She is insightful, intelligent, empathetic, deep in knowledge, broad in expertise, and knows how to deliver real therapy with a great sense of humor. She has a life full of experience and insights to draw on and a big playbook of techniques and tricks she can bestow on you both to help with what you are facing now and generally make you a stronger and happier person. Thanks you Mel!
Mel is such an amazing therapist and I have worked with her for around thirty sessions so far. She is so easy to talk to and will find connections among what you say and how you can better yourself. She is very experienced and professional, yet still keeps the sessions unintimidating and friendly.
Melody is great. She listens and gives concrete actions and ways to reframe challenges to make each day better. I am comforted by our sessions and follow up readings
Mel is amazing!
She is a very awesome counselor and I would recommend her to anyone. She’s helped me talk about things I never thought I would and she is very understanding and caring. She knows just the right thing to say when you need it and she doing everything she can to steer you in the right direction to become a better you so I thank you for that!
We have only had one session but I am already impressed! Yay!
Melody has helped me so much thus far. I feel I’ve made some real progress and look forward to working with her.
She's such a wonderful human being who knows how to listen genuinely and to come up with realistic solutions to problems.
I have become fond with Mel and I feel like I can trust her feedback on the issues I bring forth to her. She's very attentive and very respectful of my feelings towards certain situations.
