Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Kaley Melville has been in practice 6 years and is licensed in Florida. Kaley lists trauma and abuse, grief and self esteem among 46 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Kaley's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Kaley works with
Kaley lists 5 specialisms and 41 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Kaley chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Kaley's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is not to tell you who to be - it’s to help you better understand your story, strengthen your voice, and feel empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of a private practice, where I have been one of the leading therapists for the past six years. In that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families navigating some of life’s most challenging and transformative moments. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and direct when needed - always grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.
I specialize in conflict resolution, communication breakdowns, major life transitions, and healing from relational trauma. I also work closely with individuals experiencing high pressure situations, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, offering compassionate support while building practical coping tools. Additionally, I have experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through the end-of-life cycle and the complex grief that can accompany it.
As an active professional athlete and former Division I dual-sport collegiate athlete, I also specialize in working with athletes of all levels. I understand the unique pressures of performance, identity loss after injury or transition out of athletics, body image concerns, burnout, PTSD related to injury or loss, and performance anxiety. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience into this work.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply ready to grow, we will work together to help you regain a sense of control, strengthen your resilience, and move toward the life you want to create.

03 · What happens next
Kaley practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kaley's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kaley at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kaley is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kaley.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Kaley actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kaley's - Kaley has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
