About
With a background in working with young adults or elderly, I am able to help you through many different life transitions from a holistic approach.
Hello! I am Melody Davisson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy working with individuals ages 13 and up, including young teens, adults, families, and older adults. I worked in hospice for 4 years, and I worked at The University of Southern Mississippi for 5 years teaching Social Work students.
I utilize a holistic approach and will also integrate spiritual counseling into our sessions if needed. I recognize that everyone needs support in different ways, and my goal is to help you build the skills and insight you need to live a fulfilling life.
I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s transitions and rediscover who they are in each season of life. Change—whether expected or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, grief, and growth, and you do not have to walk through it alone.

At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.
ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Jackson, MS know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.
Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.
Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.
ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.
The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.
Thankfully, treatment for ADHD is available. Working with a mental health professional like a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist can help children and adults living with ADHD. They can provide testing and diagnosis to confirm the presence of ADHD and create customized treatment plans to improve the disorder’s symptoms.
Working with a professional from Thriveworks Counseling in Jackson, MS, can help you or your child manage ADHD, and you can get started quickly – call our office to set up your first appointment.
ADHD is common in both children and adults. Children can be diagnosed as early as four years of age, and adult ADHD can go undiagnosed for years. These are some of the most commonly seen symptoms for adults and children with ADHD:
There are three main types of ADHD that impact people in different ways: the hyperactive/impulsive type, the inattentive type, and the combined type. Mental health professionals can diagnose ADHD by examining which symptoms are present. Knowing the kind of ADHD present allows a professional to create a custom treatment plan and manage the disorder.
Is ADHD holding you back at work or in school? Is your child struggling in the classroom? Consider calling our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Jackson, MS, to schedule an appointment with a mental health professional.
Therapies can help treat ADHD in both children and adults. Psychotherapy will be different for each case depending on a person’s specific experience with the disorder. For example, family therapy can help children with ADHD learn to manage their symptoms. If your child has ADHD, a therapist or counselor can help you learn specific ways of talking to and interacting with your child that can help them improve their behavior and attention.
Medication is another commonly used treatment for ADHD. Medication can help people think and pay attention more easily. Stimulant and non-stimulant medications have been used safely for decades in both children and adults. Psychiatrists can recommend and prescribe medications for their clients. Therapists and counselors can also work with psychiatrists to find a medication that would help their clients.
Working with an expert on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD can make the condition much more manageable. Mental health professionals from Thriveworks Counseling in Jackson, MS are experts in helping people overcome ADHD – call our office today to get started.
Our goal has always been to make the therapeutic process convenient and straightforward for all of our clients. That’s why we offer both in-person and online sessions, the latter of which allows you to work with a mental health professional from the comfort of your own home. We also provide evening and weekend appointments for those weeks where it feels like you never stop moving. Most new clients can even have their first session within the same week as calling. Check with your insurance provider to see if your coverage includes mental health services, as we take most major insurance plans.
