About Melissa
Melissa Schreiber is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. Her style is calm and direct, focusing on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Melissa uses straightforward talk therapy to help people spot unhelpful patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify feelings in close relationships.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's priorities during therapy. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients develop coping skills for impulsivity, substance concerns, and life transitions.
Melissa supports people coping with trauma, abuse, family-of-origin issues, and the strain of blended family situations. She brings attention to communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related issues. Melissa also offers help around divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, and concerns tied to HIV/AIDS or hospice and end-of-life matters.
She can work with those who are hearing impaired and welcomes international clients. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in North Carolina and a focus on relationship repair and personal growth. Melissa aims to help people build resilience and practical strategies so they can move forward with more clarity and confidence.

How Melissa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and reflecting what they need to work through. This helps when someone wants a gentle, listening-focused process to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by practicing new responses and testing different ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, anger, impulsivity, and preparing concrete steps for change.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they affect close relationships. It can be helpful for improving communication and repairing connection when people feel misunderstood or reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process can shift over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is lower, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports daily processing between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and to use therapy tools in real-life moments.
