About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience in mental health work. She offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns including codependency and attachment issues.
She trained in counseling psychology and mental health counseling and has worked in homes, agencies, hospitals, and school settings. That variety shaped a flexible, practical approach to everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Melissa draws from methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to address current difficulties.
Her style combines talking through patterns with exercises that look at thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to notice long-running stories people tell about themselves. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. The aim is to help people name what is happening and choose small, realistic moves forward.
Melissa also pays attention to cultural background, caregiving stress, immigration-related challenges, and workplace issues. She works with grief, postpartum mood shifts, and compassion fatigue in people who carry others’ burdens. Practical tools for sleep, stress management, and anger are part of her regular toolkit.
If someone is trying to stop putting others first, set clearer boundaries, or cope with another person’s moods or substance use, she helps them look at patterns and try different responses. To start a match process clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Melissa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying specific behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful relationship patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.She also draws on motivational interviewing when someone feels stuck. That method uses short, conversational prompts to clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Together the therapist and client review what works and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Melissa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and daily life. That means testing a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, make shorter check-ins easier during a workday, or avoid travel time. They can also allow using screen-shared worksheets, brief guided mindfulness practices, and homework that fits into ordinary routines.
