Invest in yourself. You are worth it!
It is not about being connected. It is about feeling connected. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Licensed Independent Social Worker in Iowa. I currently reside in Texas. I received a Master of Science in Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington in 2014. My undergraduate degree is in Applied Gerontology. My professional experience includes inpatient psychiatric treatment and emergency departments working with adults from age 18-95. I have engaged clients in Cognitive behavioral Therapy, Reminiscent Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Working to manage depression, anxiety, addiction, substance use/abuse, grief and/or suicidal ideation is my passion. I have motivated individuals, couples and families to engage in change. My goal is assisting people remain in the community and not become hospitalized. Together we can make that happen! There is no problem that does not have a solution. There are always options. I have an extensive "toolbox" and will encourage you to build one as well.
I am genuine and that will be evident the first time we meet. Allow me to help put 'life' back into living with a new perspective.
I care. Let's talk!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
She’s a great therapist she listens. She gives me good advice.
I’ve never had a better therapist than Melody. She is so genuine and caring. I’m lucky to have found her.
Melody is absolutely amazing. Melody has been there for me while I go through some of the hardest challenges I've ever encountered. I will forever be grateful for her and her experience and knowledge.
I've only had two sessions, but they've really helped me navigate some complications in my life. Simply being in therapy has offered some relief, but having a therapist that I feel like listens to me and can relate to my issues has lifted a big weight off my shoulders. I look forward to my sessions. I find the advice given by Melody very useful. I really think she will be able to help me even more as the sessions continue.
Melody is the absolute best! I am so lucky to have found her. I am grateful to have her in my life.
She has been a great listener and offers positive feedback.
Melody really understands me. She has so many resources to help me on my journey. I rely on her a lot, and she has never disappointed me. She is caring and comforting and sincere. Really, she’s the best therapist I’ve ever had.

Melody is the bomb. She’s fabulous!
She is the most amazing therapist I’ve ever had. She takes her time to listen, understand, and she truly cares about you and your well being. I cannot say enough about Melody!!
She has been exactly what I needed. Someone to listen and hear the underlying issues. Be able to show me through questions to myself where I need to put focus on. She was a great match for me.
I’ve been talking to Melody for almost two months and I can truly say she’s a great listener and all around genuine person. Since our first session she has made me feel heard and non judged. I would recommend Melody to anyone who is willing to apply the things in your session to your day to day life!
Melody has been incredibly helpful to me on my journey of mental and emotional wellness, she’s very kind and open minded and she checks in with me to see how I’m doing. She has a great attitude and always makes me feel heard.
She has listened to me and help me manage and express my emotions better. Being able to share my journal with her prevents having to relive the things that I am going through and it provides for a better way to receive therapy!
She listens well and her history with social work is both insightful and helpful
Melody is great so far

Melody Hatter cares, She responds way better than I even do. But when I was struggling to keep in touch, she kept reaching out to keep me focused on my goals. Shes very funny and wise and a great addition to my journey to self love. <3
Melody, is always understanding and is a great listener. She gets you to interact and asks you questions to hear your opinion. Amazing at her job.
