   About Melissa

   Melissa Snodgrass is a licensed social worker practicing in North Carolina. She holds the LISW-CP and the LCSW and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Melissa focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.

   She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. Sessions are meant to help people notice those strengths and take small, practical steps toward goals. Melissa aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels hard and try new ways of handling it.

   Her approach draws from several methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. These approaches shape how she listens, asks questions, and supports changes that matter to the client.

   Melissa works with people at different stages of change and often focuses on motivation, values, and daily coping skills. She describes the work as collaborative - the client and therapist decide together what to try. The pace and goals are set to fit each person's life and needs.

   Her style is practical and encouraging. Melissa supports people who want clearer goals, better emotional coping, and more confidence in moving forward.

2. How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about taking the next step.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action toward those values. ACT combines practical exercises with simple practices to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and following the client's pace. This approach aims to make people feel heard and understood while they decide what changes to try.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
   
   Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities so therapy can be part of a real routine.
