About Melissa
LISW-CP and LCSW licensed in North Carolina, with four years of professional experience, Melissa Snodgrass focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Melissa uses several evidence-based approaches to help people cope and move forward. She describes clients as the experts of their own stories and builds on existing strengths during sessions.
Melissa listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and practical. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to suit the situation.
When someone brings worry about anxiety or a heavy loss, Melissa helps them identify small, doable steps. She guides clients through exercises that clarify values, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build coping skills. Work on self-esteem focuses on noticing strengths and practicing manageable behavioral changes.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools the client can try between sessions. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what changes help.
Sessions are offered in English and take place under her North Carolina license. Melissa does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session formats so arrangements suit your schedule and needs.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while tolerating difficult feelings. ACT is useful for ongoing anxiety, low motivation, and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and then changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and uses reflective listening to help someone make sense of their experience.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques from different approaches as needs evolve.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten follow-up check-ins, and allow people to use tools and worksheets during or after a meeting. Therapists generally help adapt exercises for video or phone formats so skills can be practiced between sessions.
