About Kaley
Kaley Melville is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who brings six years of clinical work to her practice. She frames the client as the expert in their life and focuses on helping people clarify their story and move forward with clearer goals.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and supportive, with direct guidance when it can help progress. Kaley works with people facing relational trauma, grief, and major life transitions.
She helps with communication breakdowns and conflict, and she coaches clients toward practical coping strategies for anxiety and depression. Her sessions often focus on strengthening voice, setting boundaries, and rebuilding confidence after loss or upheaval.
She has experience supporting those dealing with end-of-life issues and complex grief that can accompany caregiving and separation. Kaley also addresses concerns around abandonment, attachment, codependency, and control issues.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work and tailors interventions to each person’s situation. As an active professional athlete and former Division I dual-sport collegiate athlete, Kaley understands performance pressures and the emotional impact of injuries or transitions out of sports.
That lived experience informs her approach to body image, burnout, and performance anxiety for athletes at various levels. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
Kaley blends empathy with straightforward feedback and focuses on building tools that people can use between meetings. She aims to leave clients feeling more able to manage difficult feelings and clearer about next steps.
Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life
Kaley uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which helps people process painful memories and reduce their everyday impact through paced, structured conversations and coping skill practice. Another focus is grief-focused support, which helps people name losses, manage intense feelings, and find ways to adjust to life after major change. These methods aim to make difficult experiences more manageable and to restore a sense of direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kaley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes reviewing what has helped before and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates or work through short exercises between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or training schedules while keeping consistent care accessible.
