About Nelly

Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English, Armenian, and Persian.

She aims to meet people where they are and help them move through hard moments at their own pace. She focuses on relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of separation or divorce.

Background and approach

Her work addresses family-of-origin issues, abandonment, codependency, and the effects of caregiving or aging concerns. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens for each person’s story and tailors sessions to individual needs.

Sessions combine conversational work with practical skills for communication, coping, and conflict resolution. Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon draws from several approaches, including Narrative therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral ideas.

She also uses existential perspectives and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She adapts techniques to the situation rather than using one fixed method. She has clinical experience with survivors and people involved in domestic and sexual violence, and with those who have experienced childhood trauma.

Her background includes work across different countries and cultures, which informs a culturally sensitive practice. She offers a collaborative space for people who want to understand their patterns and make change. Practical matters are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Sessions are offered in multiple formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Nelly directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approaches that shape online sessions

Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite the stories that keep them stuck. This approach can be useful for relationship challenges, grief, and patterns that repeat across life. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person’s experience and emphasizes listening, empathy, and acceptance to help people gain clarity and self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and collaboratively decide what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix methods over time so the plan adjusts as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit ongoing support into a busy day and to follow up between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules, communication styles, and practical needs.
