About Melodie
Melodie Heupel-Carney is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Melodie works with clients who need help regaining confidence, handling life changes, or coping after abuse.
She starts from the belief that each person knows their own story. Sessions aim to build on a person’s existing strengths while exploring patterns that get in the way.
How Melodie works
Melodie supports practical steps that fit everyday life, not just ideas discussed in the office. Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Those tools are used to notice hard thoughts, practice new behaviors, and build emotional awareness.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas also play a role when attention to feelings helps move things forward. Melodie has spent more than two decades helping people manage recurring worry, overwhelming mood, and the fallout from trauma. She offers straightforward strategies for coping with chronic pain, relationship problems, codependency, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment.
Sessions are available to people in Oklahoma and are conducted in English. The goal in each meeting is practical: clarify what matters, try manageable changes, and adjust steps as progress happens.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy makes the person’s perspective central, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle guidance while the client leads the pace of change.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try one or two methods, and adjust based on what helps. Working together makes it easier to find approaches that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for emotion work, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on practical progress.
