About Melissa
Melissa Snodgrass is a licensed social worker with four years of clinical experience practicing in North Carolina and South Carolina. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges to self-esteem and motivation, drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods.
Background and approach
Melissa emphasizes the client’s knowledge of their own life and builds on existing strengths to help clients move toward meaningful change. Her style is collaborative and empowering; she frames therapy as a partnership in which the client’s goals guide the work.
Melissa encourages small, courageous steps and offers practical tools to cope with painful emotions and life transitions. While she integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, she also uses acceptance-based practices, client-centered listening, and motivational strategies to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect a supportive presence that balances skill-building with empathy. Melissa aims to help people increase resilience, clarify values, and regain motivation so they can pursue a more fulfilling life path.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites clients to clarify personal values and develop willingness to experience difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and build self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa will work with each person to explore which methods feel most useful given their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she can integrate elements from different approaches as the relationship evolves.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it possible to access regular support without travel and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on current needs. For many people, remote sessions help sustain momentum and apply new skills in daily life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
