About Melvin
Melvin DuBard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in mental health and education. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career questions, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
Melvin draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused approaches. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns that keep people stuck.

He earned an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina and a Bachelor of Science in Business Education from Winthrop University. He holds LPC credentials in South Carolina and Oregon and also has a Global Career Development Facilitator credential.
In sessions he listens without judgment and treats people with respect. He helps clients identify small, concrete steps to move forward. He aims to teach skills clients can use on their own after therapy ends.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Jungian Therapy values symbols, personal stories, and meaning; in online sessions this can look like guided conversation about dreams, images, life patterns, and personal narratives to help uncover deeper themes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are; in remote sessions the therapist follows the client's lead and encourages honest, paced conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework, which works well online because worksheets and tracking can be shared and reviewed between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing Jungian reflection with CBT skill-building or using motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing brief support. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, travel, or varied schedules while keeping the focus on concrete steps and personal growth.
