About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She brings a steady, practical style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. Her work is grounded in clear conversation and usable strategies rather than jargon.
Melissa trained in counseling psychology and mental health counseling and has worked in home-based care, mental health agencies, hospitals, and schools.
Background and approach
That range shaped her ability to meet people where they are and to adapt techniques to different life situations. She draws on both short-term and deeper work depending on what a person needs. In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to help people clarify goals, strengthen motivation, and rewrite personal stories that hold them back. These methods often help with anger, sleep problems, and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
She helps clients set practical goals, practice new skills, and track small changes between visits. Many people find this useful for coping with grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, and mood disorders. Melissa is based in North Carolina and works in English.
She pays attention to cultural issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the stress that caregivers and helpers can carry. Her aim is to help people use their strengths to move forward.

How Melissa Uses Therapy Methods Online
Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and calm, teaching simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and strengthens commitment to small, achievable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will talk with each person to learn about goals, past attempts, and daily routines. Together they pick methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging work well for short check-ins, tracking homework, or for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity across life changes.
