Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
No matter what kind of challenges or difficulties or painful situations you go through in your life, we all have something deep within us that we can reach down and find the inner strength to get through them. Alana Stewart
My name is Melanie Griffin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing in North Carolina (#C11127). I am also licensed and have done extensive work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut (#007008).
I have been a Therapist/ LCSW for over 12 years and take pride in the fact that I have worked with a diverse population/culture of people.
I received my Master of Social Work (MSW), from Southern CT State University, I also hold a Bachelors (BS) in Public Health.
I have done work in such areas as Forensics, Community Services, Crisis Intervention, Trauma, Mental Health and Addictions, Geriatrics, Adolescent Services and Family Reunification.
I firmly believe in “Meeting the client where they are”. This, I believe has enhanced my role as a truly empathetic therapist and has helped me to understand the importance of Person-Centered Therapy. CBT is another theory which I strongly believe really works in therapy.
I understand that reaching out for help can not only be scary, but for many it still holds a realm of stigma and shame, this is why I am so conscious of the therapist’s role of engaging with their client for the purpose of opening up the gates of trust, empathy and understanding.
If I can help you in anyway, please reach out to me.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating significant life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit of virtual therapy is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level – video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to maintain consistency and access support when needed.
Licensed professionals provide the care, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel a different match would be better. For many people, the combination of proven effectiveness and adaptable delivery makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
