About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and mood-related issues including bipolar disorder and seasonal mood changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Melissa trained in counseling psychology and mental health counseling and has worked in home, agency, hospital, and school settings. That variety shaped a practical approach focused on daily problems and routines. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Her work also draws on mindfulness practices to slow down automatic reactions. Motivational Interviewing rhythms are used when someone needs clearer reasons to change or to strengthen small steps. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help people see how past events and relationships affect current patterns.
In sessions she talks plainly about what is getting in the way and what can be tried differently. She pays attention to how feelings, thoughts, and behavior link together and coaches concrete skills for coping, sleeping better, and managing anger or workplace stress.
People who contact her should expect a structured, practical focus on specific problems and goals. The first meetings clarify priorities and set short-term steps. Ongoing work moves from learning skills to trying them out in daily life.
How cognitive and mindfulness approaches translate to online sessions
Melissa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the habits that follow. CBT in online work focuses on short exercises and clear homework tasks that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.She also applies Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These techniques help interrupt automatic reactions and can be used when managing anger, grief, or stress. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and boost commitment to small behavior changes when someone feels stuck.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or two approaches to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what works for the person.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, or use exercises that do not require being on camera.
