About Melissa

Melissa Schreiber is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, and major life changes.

She helps people talk through relationship conflicts and personal struggles in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer understanding of patterns that cause pain. Melissa draws on approaches that aim to change unhelpful thinking and to strengthen emotional connection.

Her method combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotionally-focused work to look at how feelings and attachment patterns shape close relationships. The Gottman Method informs her focus on communication and managing recurring conflicts.

Clients can expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes real-world skills. Melissa helps people identify small shifts that reduce daily stress and improve interaction with others. She pays attention to family background, blended family issues, codependency, and communication problems when these affect current relationships.

Over two decades of practice have included work with addiction, domestic violence effects, gender dysphoria concerns, grief and hospice-related questions, and clients who are hearing impaired. She also supports people managing guilt, impulsivity, and family of origin wounds. For practical next steps, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Melissa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely and helping people decide what matters most to them, which is useful when sorting through relationship or family stress.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, addiction patterns, and daily coping strategies by teaching skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss format preferences during the initial matching questionnaire and first session to set a plan that fits everyday routines.
