Misty Moler

Misty Moler is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of professional experience. She has worked with adults in higher education settings as well as in private practice, addressing a broad range of concerns including disability-related issues, general mental health needs, and career-related topics.

She provides counseling specific to disability-related matters such as diversity, adjustment, and the legal obligations tied to ADA law. In mental health work she commonly focuses on stress management, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, domestic violence, communication, work-life balance, practical life skills, and academic success skills.

Misty has more limited experience in career counseling, yet she facilitates career-related counseling and is qualified to offer supervision from that perspective. She is certified to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other career inventories to support career exploration and decision-making.

Her primary approaches to therapy draw from solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies. Misty emphasizes client strengths and empowerment, guiding people to explore answers within themselves while using a strength-based approach and targeted assignments. Consistent with cognitive behavioral methods, she often assigns homework to link session work with daily life, and she commonly uses role-play to practice skills and examine unhelpful thinking patterns. She also provides handouts to illustrate topics and serve as resources between sessions.

Her counseling style is warm, collaborative, and interactive. Misty treats clients with respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, and she individualizes treatment plans based on goals established with each person. She acknowledges that deciding to begin counseling takes courage, affirms that everyone deserves to pursue greater well-being, and encourages the effort required to achieve a better quality of life. Misty is ready to assist and support individuals on that journey.
