About Melinda

Melinda Matney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, severe mental illnesses, healthy sexuality, grief and loss, life transitions, and career fatigue. She has also worked with many individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and client centered, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Melinda does not rely on stigmatizing labels; instead she collaborates with each person to understand their strengths and needs. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, holistic perspectives, emotion regulation strategies, distress tolerance skills, and mindfulness practices. Treatment plans and conversations are tailored to each client so the work aligns with their unique situation and goals.

Melinda aims to meet clients where they are in their journeys, offering support and practical tools for change. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and focuses on empowering individuals as they take those first steps. Melinda looks forward to working with prospective clients ready to move toward greater well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Melinda Matney integrates practical, evidence-based techniques into her online work to address common emotional and relational concerns. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with skills that reduce symptoms and improve functioning; this approach often helps with mood and anxiety difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore values, goals, and personal strengths, which is useful for life transitions and relationship concerns. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, supporting emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melinda collaborates with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in their care.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for busy schedules, geographic distance, and differing comfort levels. These options allow clients to connect with a licensed professional from wherever they are and to choose the format that best supports their engagement and consistency in treatment.
