Online Therapy for Adults With Anxiety and Complex Trauma

Melanie Taylor smiles at her laptop in her counseling office, with a red couch behind her.

If you grew up keeping the peace, you might still notice yourself checking everyone else’s mood before you decide what you want to say. You can get through a busy workday and still spend the drive home replaying one conversation. Even a simple “no” can turn into an hour of figuring out how to say it without upsetting anyone.

I’m Melanie Taylor, LPC-S. I work with adults who want to feel less on edge, know what they need, and trust themselves even when someone else disagrees. Online counseling gives us a place to work on those patterns and practice what you want to do differently in your day-to-day life.


Where I Offer Online Counseling

I offer online therapy to adults who are physically located in Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, or Ohio at the time of their session.


What We Can Work On Together

We might start with a conversation you keep replaying, a boundary you’ve been putting off, or the way your body stays tense even when the day is over. We’ll look at what happens in those moments, how you learned to respond, and what would help you have more choices the next time.

My approach may include EMDR, parts work, or practical exercises to help you recognize what you’re feeling and respond in a way that feels more like you. We’ll talk together about what fits your goals and what you feel ready for.


Ways to Work With Me Online

Individual therapy gives us regular time to work through anxiety, complex trauma, and the patterns that show up in your relationships.

Safety to Self™ is my five-session therapy package for adults who want focused support with skills like recognizing their needs, setting boundaries, and trusting their own decisions.

Virtual mini-intensives offer a longer, two- to three-hour appointment for people who want more time to focus on a particular concern. We can talk during your consultation about whether that format fits what you’re looking for.


What to Expect From a Virtual Session

A man sits at his kitchen table and speaks into his laptop during an online counseling session.

Choose a private place where you can speak freely and a device with a reliable internet connection. During our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you want to be different, and what would help you feel comfortable getting started.
