About Melissa
Melissa Schreiber is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, depression, and relationship or family struggles.

Background and approach
Melissa helps clients name what's happening, try small changes, and notice what shifts over time. Her approach draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside client-centered listening. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior.
Emotionally-focused techniques and elements of the Gottman Method shape how she looks at relationship dynamics. Melissa often works with people on attachment and codependency issues, blended family concerns, communication problems, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. She also supports clients facing substance use issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and challenges tied to gender dysphoria or hearing impairment.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Melissa helps people develop clearer boundaries, build coping skills, and make choices that fit their values. She welcomes international clients and conducts therapy in English.

How Melissa’s Approaches Work Online
Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, values, and the choices they face when life feels uncertain. It’s useful for grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose when routines or relationships shift.Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and the client’s own priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead to build understanding, emotional safety, and clearer self-awareness over time.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety or substance-related urges.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try specific methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a fit that works for each person.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or reach out without being on camera. These options offer flexibility for people managing busy schedules, travel, or varied daily demands.
