About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience in mental health work and combines practical tools with thoughtful listening. Melissa likes to help people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and changes at work or home.
She values clear, down-to-earth conversations that lead to small, steady steps forward. Her training includes graduate work in counseling psychology and mental health counseling.
Background and approach
Over the years she has worked in homes, mental health agencies, hospitals, and schools. That range of settings gave her experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. Melissa uses several therapeutic approaches and chooses methods to fit each person.
She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that limit them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are part of her work when people need tools to calm the body and mind.
Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, parenting strain, communication problems, workplace stress, and the effects of immigration or multicultural stress. Melissa pays attention to how life events shape daily habits and relationships. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills while honoring each person's values.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Conversations focus on what matters now and on steps that fit into real life.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Melissa uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and the world. That work focuses on shifting unhelpful narratives so actions and choices feel more possible. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets clear patterns of thought and behavior, helping people test beliefs, reduce anxiety, and change habits that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep, mood, and focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and priorities, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to weigh in on which strategies feel useful and which do not, so the plan evolves from session to session.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between visits. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, test new skills between sessions, and get steady help while balancing family, school, or work commitments.
