About Melissa
Melissa Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with about 10 years in the mental health field. She draws on two graduate degrees in counseling and a range of work settings to support people dealing with emotional strain. Her background includes agency, hospital, school, and in-home work in North Carolina and earlier training from Massachusetts and Anna Maria College.
Her approach blends practical skills with personal reflection. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage stress and improve focus. She also brings Narrative and Psychodynamic work to help people understand how past experiences shape present responses.
Melissa often helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those working through parenting strain, caregiver stress, workplace issues, ADHD, and codependency. She speaks with people about values, identity, and life changes in straightforward terms.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. She uses motivational interviewing to uncover what matters most and to build motivation for change. Practical steps and short-term strategies are paired with deeper exploration when useful.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental with an emphasis on building trust. She invites clients to use their strengths and challenges to reach goals. Prospective clients are encouraged to start with the matching process to find the best fit for their needs.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify what matters and build momentum for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods based on what is most helpful. This is a collaborative process that may blend short-term skills with deeper exploration over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a workday. Some techniques translate well to remote sessions, such as CBT homework, mindfulness exercises, and guided reflection that you can practice between meetings.
