Dr. Melody Hubnik
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

“Counseling is like a journey, it’s your journey, I am only a guide, still I am willing to take this journey with you and walk beside you while providing the support you need”. On this journey if we discover you have a broken heart, we can find and pick up the pieces so you can be free to love, receive love and trust again. Maybe you've been hurt so bad and feel numb, let’s go searching for that person who once cared, and you can take what you can carry, and we’ll leave the rest behind Hello, my name is Daniel Carney, and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and over the past 25 years I have lead many on a journey of discovering the obstacle/s which are preventing them from living the life they choose to live, plus finding a path which leads to awareness of a true life purpose, and helping each to instill the courage and self-confidence to live the life they choose to live, a life of meaning. My experience with counseling has led to the belief that not only are all unique, but also how each interprets their life experiences. Thus, my approach to counseling is not restricted to a one-size-fits-all perceptive that’s why I have learned to utilize an integrated approach to counseling. This elective approach allows me to draw from a variety of contemporary evidence-based theories/techniques that are proven most effective in addressing each individual concern, while taking into consideration each person’s unique personality characteristics and experiences. Through the means of acceptance, respect, listening, and understanding, I strive in providing a safe and supportive interactive environment; a place where individuals feel safe and free to explore their inner and external worlds. I have experience in helping clients with: Anxiety/Stress Issues, Depressive/Mood Symptoms, Relationship Issues, Trauma, Vocational/Career, Personality Disorders, Bereavement/Grief/Loss, and Spirituality/Religious Issues and work with Couples and ages 12 and beyond. So are you ready to take your journey

My experience working as a Physician Assistant in psychiatry and as a therapist has positively shaped the way I practice.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in Texas?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
