About Melissa

Melissa Schreiber is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment and communication problems, codependency, and issues related to divorce and blended families.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps. She listens to what is happening now and helps people make small, usable changes. Conversations cover feelings, behaviors, and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Melissa draws on several established approaches. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps uncover unhelpful thinking and shifts behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method guide work on attachment and relationship interactions.

Her work also reflects existential ideas about meaning and choice. That perspective helps when people face big life shifts, loss, or questions about identity. Melissa is familiar with issues such as gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and hearing impairment and integrates practical supports for those concerns.

People meet to talk through current troubles, practice new ways of responding, and try skills between sessions. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Melissa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs to sort feelings and decide next steps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and teach concrete skills for stress, anxiety, and anger management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for attachment and relationship work to notice interaction cycles and change how people respond to each other.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will collaborate with the client to identify what fits their goals and preferences. Together they may try different methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skills practice and homework that fit well with remote sessions, while other work on relationship interactions can be adapted depending on logistics and goals.
