Telehealth Counseling for the Whole State
I provide secure online therapy to adolescents and adults throughout Texas. Whether you’re in a small rural community with limited local options, a growing city where schedules make in-person therapy difficult, or a major metro area, you can access therapy from wherever you have a quiet, private space and a reliable internet connection.
The counties and communities listed below represent some of the areas I serve, but they aren’t a limit. If you’re located anywhere in Texas and feel like we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get started. My goal is to make quality mental health care more accessible, regardless of where you live in the state.
Central Texas Communities We Serve
I have deep roots in Central Texas and understand what mental health access looks like — and doesn't look like — in rural communities. The counties below represent the heart of the practice's service area, where the need for accessible, private, quality care is greatest.
Limestone County
I grew up in Mexia, Texas, which gives me a personal understanding of small-town life and the communities of Central Texas. I serve clients throughout the county, including:
- Mexia
- Groesbeck
- Mart
- Coolidge
- Kosse
- Thornton
- And surrounding communities
Local resources for mental health care in Limestone County are limited. Telehealth closes that gap—bringing professional, trauma-informed counseling directly to residents who might otherwise face long drives or limited local options.
Freestone County
Serving clients throughout Freestone County, including:
- Fairfield
- Teague
- Wortham
- Kirvin
- And nearby communities
You deserve mental health care that feels close to home — even when the nearest therapist's office isn't.
Leon County
Serving clients throughout Leon County, including:
- Jewett
- Buffalo
- Centerville
- Marquez
- And surrounding areas
Online therapy offers Leon County residents a confidential, professional space to work through anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions — without needing to leave their community.
Falls County
Serving clients throughout Falls County, including:
- Marlin
- Rosebud
- Lott
- Chilton
- And the smaller surrounding towns
Therapy is available to Falls County residents with just a device and a quiet space — no commute, no waiting room, no barriers.
Hill County
Serving clients throughout Hill County, including:
- Hillsboro
- Hubbard
- Whitney
- Itasca
- And beyond
Hill County clients navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or the pressures of rural life are welcome here — with care that's tailored to the rhythms of the communities they call home.
Navarro County
Serving clients throughout Navarro County, including:
- Corsicana
- Richland
- Dawson
- Kerens
- And nearby rural communities
Navarro County residents can access calm, professional therapy without long drives or lengthy waitlists — just straightforward, effective support from wherever they are.

I work with clients from across Texas — from small rural communities to larger cities. Here's what some of them have shared.

Mental Health Care Shouldn't Depend on Your Zip Code
The Reality of Rural Mental Health Access
In many parts of Central Texas and rural communities across the state, the nearest therapist is an hour away — if there's one accepting new clients at all. That distance isn't just inconvenient. For someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma, it's a real barrier that keeps a lot of people from ever getting help. Add to that the cultural stigma around mental health that still exists in many rural communities, and the obstacles become even greater.
Bloom Within Counseling was built specifically to address this. Telehealth isn't a compromise — it's a solution. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and most other mental health concerns. And for rural clients, it has an additional advantage: the privacy of receiving care at home, without anyone in your community seeing your car in a therapist's parking lot.
What You Need to Get Started
Accessing online therapy with Bloom Within Counseling is straightforward, whether you're in our local service area or not. All you need is:
- A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone
- A reliable internet connection
- A quiet, private space for the duration of the session
- A willingness to show up — that's the only requirement that really matters
Sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. No app downloads are required. Melanie will send you a private link before your appointment, and you can join from wherever you're most comfortable.
