About Melissa
Melissa Schreiber is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with 20 years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and life changes.
Her approach mixes straightforward conversation with practical techniques. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform how she helps people with relationship concerns.
Melissa draws on many years of experience helping clients name the problems that feel stuck and try manageable ways to change them. She often focuses on attachment patterns, communication problems, codependency, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses substance use, domestic violence effects, gender dysphoria related stress, and issues around HIV/AIDS or hearing impairment when these come up.
In sessions she explains ideas plainly and suggests exercises people can try between meetings. Work may include skills practice, checking how thoughts affect feelings, and role-playing hard conversations. Melissa also uses existential ideas to help people think about values and meaning when life transitions are stressful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can explore their priorities; online sessions keep this same back-and-forth and allow time to clarify concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises and practice tasks to change patterns; those tools move well to a talk session and follow-up exercises between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotional responses and use new interaction patterns in relationships; it supports work on attachment and communication even when done remotely.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That discussion guides whether the focus is skills-based CBT work, emotion-led EFT, or a client-centered path that explores values and meaning.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings that suit them. Many therapists use structured exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice that translate well to remote work, and Melissa can help plan sessions that fit everyday life.
