Wynne Melland , LPC

Wynne Melland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience who focuses on behavior change and mindfulness. As an LPC Wynne is a trained, licensed mental health professional who provides counseling to individuals, families, and groups. She has worked in both community and private practice settings, bringing practical experience from each to her therapeutic work.

Wynne is committed to helping people alter habits that no longer serve them, including supporting those who want to quit or reduce alcohol use, while learning to live more mindfully and with greater self-compassion. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, such as substance abuse, depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, grief, sexual abuse, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and anger management or conflict resolution.

Her therapeutic approach is primarily influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices, and she aims to meet each person where they are so treatment can be tailored to individual needs and goals. Wynne views the work toward a more satisfying and fulfilling life as a demonstration of strength, and she offers support and empowerment to those ready to take that step.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Wynne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. She also integrates mindfulness-based techniques that teach present-moment attention and self-compassion, useful for stress management, cravings, and emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses at times - it emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with motivation and long-term behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Wynne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment so it feels relevant and achievable for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver many of the same therapeutic tools and skills used in traditional sessions, helping clients make meaningful changes from wherever they are.
