  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LMHC, LCPC, LPCC, LCMHC

I am Melody McKibbin, a licensed therapist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on this page. I specialize in personality disorders and Christian faith-based counseling. I am certified in DBT and a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

I am pursuing my Doctoral degree at Liberty University in Community Care and Counseling, with a concentration in Traumaology. 

I have 4 years of experience in private practice and community mental health settings and am passionate about serving individuals ages 25 and up.

I’m from Texas, have been married for 14 years, and have a teenage daughter and two Russian Blue cats. Outside of work, I love painting, hanging with my Russian Blue cats, writing fiction, and spending time with friends. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people grow into their best selves.

I identify as a conservative Christian, and I can incorporate faith-based counseling and Biblical insights into our sessions.

Psalm 91:11-12 "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways, they will lift you in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stone."

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.
