- LPC, LPA-IP
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor living in Texas. I have been in the counseling field since 2009. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger management, and family issues. My theoretical background is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, where your thoughts are examined in relation to how they shape your behavior. I can be flexible though, if CBT ultimately doesn't work for you. My overall approach is calming and laid back. My goal is to work with you in order to help you reach the goals you would like to achieve in counseling.
I look at messages throughout the day, but am most readily available from 5:30pm-7:30pm M-T-F .

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.

Caring and understanding. Shares problem solving techniques!
Mealika is incredible! She guided me through extremely difficult times in my life and taught me a different way to perceive my issues. Every session felt as if I were talking to a friend and the space that she created was always comfortable.
Ms. Mealika was super helpful in allowing me to work on some issues that I was having a hard time navigating on my own. I loved the live chat feature, as it allowed me to be able to tap into expert advice, no matter where I found myself...still at work, at home, walking, etc. She was very patient and knowledgeable, offering great suggestions on activities to try.
Mealika is a fantastic therapist. I was definitely concerned about online therapy at first, but she put me at ease and gives really constructive advice that is both helpful in the moment and has been helpful in changing my thinking in specific situations.
Malika is great! She actually lets me talk, I never feel talked over. Our sessions feel very natural and she has helped me so much in the short time she's been my therapist.
Actively listens to my concerns and helps me on a day by day basis and case by case basi and scenario by scenario basis. Truly someone to feel comfortable speaking with.
Mealika Brown's calm and sensitivity has helped me revive long forgotten avenues of self-expression that I am so in need of right now. I look forward to every session!
Mealika is always calm, casual, and makes me feel comfortable to tell her my problems and feelings. She also helps to let me reflect to myself: why do I have certain negative feelings, how can I calm myself down, what practical approach can I use to adjust my mood. I would recommend her to people who need help.
I absolutely love her. She will respond between sessions, checking in on you or responding to a message you send. She’s very patient and has a lot of ideas on how to overcome problems you are dealing with
Mealika has been extremely helpful and understanding! She always provides support, and replies and answers any of my questions very quickly. I am very thankful she is my counselor.
She has been very professional and also comforting with my issues
