Melissa Moore

Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She has 10 years of experience in the mental health field and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Melissa blends practical skills with steady support so clients can face everyday challenges more clearly.

She trained in counseling psychology and mental health counseling and has worked in home settings, mental health agencies, hospitals, and schools. That variety shaped her ability to adapt to different situations and practical problems people bring to therapy. She draws on several therapy methods to match the work to each person’s needs.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build attention and reduce reactivity, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in for people who want to look at life stories and relationship patterns.

Melissa often helps people dealing with parenting stress, workplace strain, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients coping with trauma, mood disorders including bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and issues linked to cultural or immigration experiences.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to build a trusting space where people can name goals, try small changes, and use their strengths toward those goals. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the listed process.

How Melissa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Melissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problem-focused goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another part of her work and involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase calm. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs gentle guidance to find their own reasons to change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust over time based on what helps. Together you will decide whether to focus on skills training, story work, or a mix of approaches.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reduce travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation.
