About Kaley
Kaley Melville is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing major life changes, relational trauma, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She also offers coaching-style support for people trying to find direction after a change in work, relationships, or health.
Kaley uses a collaborative and direct manner in sessions. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them find clearer ways to communicate and make decisions. Conversations focus on practical skills and real situations, such as setting boundaries, managing grief, or navigating a breakup or divorce.
She has experience addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image issues, and the stresses caregivers face. Kaley also works with people dealing with avoidant or dependent personality patterns, commitment and control issues, and the impact of domestic violence or abuse.
Her background as a professional athlete and former Division I dual-sport collegiate competitor informs work with athletes. That includes performance anxiety, identity shifts after injury or retirement, burnout, and trauma tied to sports-related events. She blends that lived experience with therapy work to address both practical and emotional needs.
Kaley describes her role as helping people better understand their story and strengthen their voice. People who want straightforward feedback and concrete coping tools often find her style helpful. To start, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Kaley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process trauma and rebuild daily coping. One common focus is trauma-informed work, which looks at how past harm affects relationships and daily life and teaches grounding and regulation skills to manage strong emotions. Another frequently used approach targets communication and relational patterns, helping people practice clearer requests, boundary setting, and conflict skills that reduce repeating the same problems.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Kaley discusses options with each person so they can decide together which techniques match the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is observed.
