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.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
