Life has taught me we are never finished learning and growing. I am person who loves old cars, Marvel Movies, good books, and family. Peoples’ life stories fascinate me and stoke my curiosity as well as being impressed with my clients' endurance, strength, and courage.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist with 28 years’ experience working with individuals, families, and couples. My clients have taught me no one can truly walk in someone’s shoes; even similar experiences are different because people are different.
I obtained a Master’s in Professional Counseling and a Doctorate in Child Development. My Doctorate in Child Development was acquired to add a dimension of understanding to my clients. My studies indicate most of us have childhood wounds that effect how we deal with life as adults. By understanding human development, I often see where the injuries began and how to help to overcome these challenges.
People bring an array of issues into our counseling sessions. Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, parenting struggles, lack of motivation, or trauma from the past all can be dealt with in therapy. An individual approach will be devised for each person, family, or couple. Trust is something I expect to earn from my clients, so please feel free to ask questions. I strive to create a therapeutic environment comprised of nonjudgmental compassionate care.
Two of the many theories I work with are Family of Origin (FOO) and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT). FOO allows an exploration of patterns learned in childhood and how we deal with these influences. The CBT approach helps people understand how decisions about relationship are formed and change negative thought narratives.
Before our first session please define one or two achievable goals for our focus. Goals help me stay on task with what you want from our time together. The analogy I use for goal setting is like planning a trip. Are we headed to New York or Los Angeles? It is important to know which direction we are headed. By knowing the destination, we then know when we have arrived. I will work within your values and goals. Do not be surprised if I give you homework. I find it helps keep clients’ therapy in motion.
I look forward to meeting with you,
Melody A. Hubnik, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
