About Melissa

Melissa Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience in the field. She completed graduate training in counseling and has worked across settings including home-based care, mental health agencies, hospitals, and schools.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD, mood disorders including bipolar, and workplace or career challenges. She blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centered, holistic stance that honors cultural background and individual values.

Melissa draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative and psychodynamic perspectives to help clients clarify goals, reframe unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping skills. Her work also includes attention to attachment-related struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, and adjustment after significant life changes.

Melissa cultivates a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere intended to help people recognize strengths, process past experiences, and move toward meaningful change. She offers a collaborative process that seeks to match interventions to each person’s needs while emphasizing growth, resilience, and clearer self-understanding.

How Melissa Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Melissa integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress management. She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can support sleep, emotion regulation, and coping with life transitions. Motivational interviewing is another approach she employs to help clients clarify values and strengthen motivation for change, particularly around goals related to career, health, or relationship shifts.

Deciding which method to use is a collaborative part of the therapeutic process. She works with each person to explore goals, past efforts, and preferences so that the chosen approach fits the client’s needs rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all model. Over time she may integrate elements from different orientations to best support progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support from home or elsewhere, and choose interaction styles that match how a client prefers to engage with therapy.
