Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.

Melaney Flaniken Practice Description
At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for your lived experience and a belief in your ability to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.
I offer trauma-informed therapy and coaching for teens and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, life transitions, and the deeper questions that arise along the way. My work integrates evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while staying grounded in a humanistic, existential framework that honors your individuality.
Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs—whether you're looking to develop coping tools, process past experiences, or reconnect with your sense of self. I also incorporate somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness, helping you feel more grounded and at home in yourself.
This is a space where you can be real, be heard, and begin to move forward—at your own pace, in your own way.
