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!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is amazing. We hit the ground running on tackling my issues and I felt happier in the proceeding days after our first session. I felt heard, supported, and challenged to grow.
I’ve had Dr. Garrett-Moultrie before and I am excited to have her back.
Very outstanding Therapist , she’s patient , understanding and very fair in giving advice. I always look forward to my sessions with her .
She was great and very helpful. In only a couple weeks she helped me get threw a lot.
During our time together Dr. Garrett-Moultrie gave me assignments and ways to implement new coping tools into my everyday life. Through this practice and insight from her I have seen a major improvement in my day to day life. Very easy to talk to, funny, and extremely caring and thoughtful. I highly recommend Dr. Garrett-Moultrie and I would work with her again in the future!
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is an outstanding therapist. She has a deep and valuable understanding of traumatic experiences, difficult relationships and complex emotions. To say the least, Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is compassionate, respectful, wise and reliable.
She is a great listener. She even catches on to things that I wasn’t necessarily wanting to put out right away. But it was like she sensed it or something. She’s really good at what she does. Look forward to more sessions and becoming a better me through these sessions
She’s absolutely amazing
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie’s approach is empathic and supportive. I always felt comfortable in sharing my struggles. Her guidance is knowledgeable and full of wisdom. She supplied me with the tools I needed to forge my own path into a life of purpose and better mental health.
I love her honesty and space holding it feels safe and she gets me
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.
Absolutely wonderful.
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.
She listens well and gives great advice.
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is skilled, sensitive, and remarkably smart. Her advice, while not always what I want, is always what I need. I'm glad and grateful that BetterHelp brought us together!
Love her!!! Best therapy experience I’ve had in years ❤️
She’s great, I love our first two sessions and she listens to me. I am grateful for her support and feedback
Very attentive and keeps me on track and find ways for me to communicate how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking in ways that have been difficult for me to do in the past. Highly would recommended to anyone
I really enjoy my sessions with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie. She listens and holds me accountable to do the work needed to improve my life. I look forward to our sessions and see improvement in my every day life already.
Dr, Garrett-Moultrie is attentive, encouraging, and motivating. She continuously checks in on me to make sure that I am staying on the right track.
Working with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie so far has been a great experience. I appreciate her honest feedback and the way in which she challenges me in a helpful way.
I loved having her as my therapist. She’s very attentive and caring. I enjoyed the rapport she developed with me. I could tell she genuinely cared about my well-being. She listened well and I always felt heard, understood, and validated (even when I was wrong in a situation). I felt like she addressed my needs appropriately and always understood my concerns. She made sure to help when I was approaching any situation from the wrong point of view. She made it a point to help me see how I can change my perspective and adjust going forward. I feel blessed to have had her as a therapist.
I like my therapy sessions with Dr. Moultrie. She definitely makes me feel comfortable in confiding in her. I feel like I am talking to my friend or sister. Very personable yet professional.
It's like talking to a concerned friend. She's been very helpful during a very stressful time.
No complaints- does her job well
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie does a great job responding to my statements and getting me to think critically about the issues I raise during our sessions. I often end feeling noticeably better about my personal experiences or with a better understanding of how to manage them.
You’re an amazing therapist and grateful to have you
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie created a safe environment for me to express my most vulnerable self. I can't thank her enough for her wisdom and guidance.
I love her! She gets personal with you! She understands from all POV! Really recommend her!
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is incredibly friendly and welcoming. She provides an open environment to share, and she meets you with warmth, understanding, and perspective. She acts as both a friendly ear and a mentor, and I would absolutely recommend her to a friend.
I feel very connected to my therapist....we relate on some of my major struggling and it gives me confidence and hope that she will be a major part of my healing process
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.
Very comforting and understanding.
I've only have a few sessions with Dr. Garrett but I appreciate how she listens. I feel comfortable talking to her.
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is supportive and respectful. I enjoy my sessions and look forward to improving myself.
Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is an incredible counselor. She's warm, smart, and listens with open ears and an open heart. With each of my issues, she provides action items to help me heal. My days and nights have been better because of our work. Thank you Dr. Garrett-Moultrie!
Very patient. And also very intentional with instructions and allowing me to see how my personal homework and reflections also help lead me into making better decisions personally
Dr. Garrett has a great way of seeing through me and understanding perfectly where I’m coming form. Especially being a queer and POC individual. She is so personable and I get along really well with her.
