About Melissa McClain

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas with over 5 years of experience working as an psychotherapist. I have worked with clients from a broad range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family dynamic distresses, poor communication styles, racial discrimination, and trauma. Furthermore, I have worked in the field of social work and mental health for over 5 years assisting individuals and families connected with local community agencies who aide with providing support during homelessness, domestic violence, suicide prevention, and substance usage. My counseling style is very empathetic, mindful and client-centered, yet direct and straightforward. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity but most importantly I pride myself on demonstrating compassion for all and being sensitive to the needs of others. It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. However, if you are ready to take the next steps to begin living a more fulfilling and self-empowered lifestyle, I’d love to hold space and walk with you along the way. I look forward to working with you.
