About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience in the mental health field and a background that includes work in homes, agencies, hospitals, and schools. Melissa enjoys learning about other cultures, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals when she is not working with clients.
She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and workplace strain. She also helps people facing relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stress, and life changes. Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Melissa draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and manage reactions. She also brings Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy into conversations when they fit the situation.
In sessions she aims to build a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Clients are invited to look at past patterns and current habits so they can make practical changes. The focus is on small, doable steps toward better sleep, healthier boundaries, clearer communication, and steadier mood.
Melissa asks people to name their goals and priorities at the start. From there she helps create a plan that reflects individual values and daily life. Readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How these approaches work in online care
Melissa frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach attention and breathing practices so people can notice stress and reduce reactivity in daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support finding personal motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This may mean trying one approach first and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
