About Melissa
Melissa Murray is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia. She brings 12 years of experience helping adults with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her work centers on listening first and then building practical ways to manage stress and overwhelming emotions.
She uses approaches that focus on relationships and daily habits. Attachment-based work looks at how past connections shape present reactions. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Narrative and client-centered methods give space for each person to tell their story and decide what matters most. Sessions are calm and respectful. Melissa aims to make therapy a nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard.
Conversations move at a steady, doable pace and often include small skills to practice between meetings. She has supported people with OCD, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, and challenges around intimacy, identity, and caregiving. Melissa also works with issues like compassion fatigue, career stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are common goals in her work. Therapy is arranged through subscription-based sessions that can be canceled at any time. Melissa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early and important relationships influence how people react now; it can help with anxiety, grief, and intimacy concerns by looking at patterns and building new ways to connect. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and learning concrete steps to change them, which is useful for anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and values in the room, giving space for people to tell their story and decide what matters most in their care.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and pick strategies that fit the person's life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Text and chat allow shorter updates, journaling between sessions, or support that fits a busy schedule.
