More about Melissa

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Pennsylvania with over 17 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist and Behavioral Specialist Consultant. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief and loss, gender identity, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to pursue for a more fulfilling and happier life. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support, to encourage, and to empower you on that journey. You can also schedule a live session (text chat, phone call, video session) with me using the Scheduler. The days/times you see are when I am available for a session, so feel free to select any slot there that works for you. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Since working with Dr. Garret-Moultrie I have improved in my marriage, career, family interactions and even how I care for myself. It’s positively amazing what we are able to accomplish with just a session each week. I have tried therapy before and it never helped me until now, but after 6 months with Dr. Garret-Moultrie cannot recommend her enough. She listens to understand before just telling you what to do. Somehow we are able to discuss very heavy topics while also laughing at some point during the session. She has helped with everything from career to sex life (which is amazing now). If you need someone to help you don’t look any further than her.

Dr. Moultrie is such a kind understanding therapist. She is amazing. She really tries to walk you though problems so you come to the conclusion on your own in a sense. She’s very gentle. It doesn’t feel like she’s talking at you, but with you and she really listens. If something happens that delays the appointment, she will always let you know which I appreciate so much. Definitely one of the best on here.

Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is one of the best counselors I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. She is incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding. Her counseling style is clearly considered, and her advice is both grounded yet hope-filled. I specifically signed up to speak with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie to discuss my anxieties, but I ended up bringing my partner into our meetings. It was the first time either of us have ever had relationship counseling. Dr. Garrett-Moultrie listens intently, offers both sides a fair ground, and guides us through our conflict. Her advice has truly made a difference in our communication and we have never been more at peace and happy with one another. If you’re on the fence and don’t know if therapy is right for your relationship but you know things could be better, just do it, preferably with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie. She is the best.
