About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns. Melissa also helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and mood disorder challenges.
She trained in counseling psychology and mental health counseling and has worked in homes, mental health agencies, hospitals, and school settings. That variety shaped a practical approach to day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems coming back.
Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and tell their story in clearer ways. Melissa explains options and helps people choose what fits their situation.
In sessions she covers concrete topics like communication problems, coping with life changes, caregiver stress, and workplace issues. She also addresses more personal themes such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related concerns. Therapy often mixes short-term skill work with deeper reflection over time.
Melissa offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Melissa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small changes that reduce reactivity and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice stress and temper without immediately reacting.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find the motivation to try new behaviors. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Melissa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on your goals and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work in an online setting so progress can continue between meetings.
