About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and mood disorders. She speaks English and brings varied clinical experience from agency, hospital, school, and in-home settings.
Melissa learned counseling through graduate programs in counseling psychology and mental health counseling. She has worked with people facing life transitions, workplace stressors, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and multicultural issues that affect everyday relationships.
Her approach combines several therapeutic styles. Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She brings mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people want help clarifying goals and staying motivated.
She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences shape current patterns. Sessions involve talking through recent events, noticing recurring themes, and trying small changes between meetings. Melissa describes this as practical, steady work rather than quick fixes.
People who choose her often want straightforward help managing emotions and repairing everyday relationships. She aims to support adults who need tools for parenting stress, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, or coping after loss. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in short, practical ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful parenting or work moments.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen commitment to change. That approach is helpful when someone feels stuck and wants straightforward steps to move forward. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client choose methods together based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and they can adjust as progress is made.

Online work can also make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples to discuss at the next meeting.
