Hello and thank you for stopping by. Right now you may be searching for some peace of mind and need help with that. Perhaps we could work as a team to find some good, solid problem resolution tools to help you get that relief and regain some emotional balance. I like to use small measurable goals that add up quickly to a solution. That technique tends to remove a great deal of angst around issues and usually takes less time. I also can and do fit techniques and tools to your specific needs and requirements. My active credentials are Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I am licensed in North Carolina and have over twenty years of counseling experience. Most clients select weekly sessions that go an hour. I am flexible with audio and video, so I can adapt to the mandates of your insurance requirements. If you are interested in pursuing this journey together, you can easily receive the initial intake form, complete it and send it back. Then we can schedule and start our process. Remember that wherever you go, whomever you choose, I just want you to get the help you need and start feeling better. Respectfully, Melody Flannery, MS, LCAS, CRC, LCMHC

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We will explore what your priorities and needs are so that we can set small goals that measure progress. We will look at your answers from the intake form together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I genuinely listen. Clients say that although I am a skilled professional, they feel comfortable with me because I'm authentic and nonpretentious. Clients are the driver and I am the supportive passenger.

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use the Miracle Question Tool to initiate goal setting and encourage clients to remain mindful of being in the moment and to utilize their strengths.

Grief Therapy

I encourage clients to enlist support of others, along with the therapist, to decrease isolation, to learn and practice grief rituals and to identify and practice a personal and unique grief experience appropriate for that particular person.

Trauma Informed Care

I simply assume that all clients at one point or the other in life have experienced trauma and I make every effort to soothe clients and help them feel safe.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

The client and I identify and practice mindfulness tools and goals that allow for self care to include relaxation, meditation, better sleep hygiene, gentle movement, nutrition and hydration.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I communicate that lofty goals may create mental paralysis and demonstrate how to formulate smaller related goals that build up on each other to eventually achieve the bigger goal. Small incremental goals lay a foundation.
