Misty Moler, LCMHC

Misty Moler is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 18 years of professional experience in North Carolina. She has worked primarily with adults in higher education settings and in private practice, offering support for a broad range of mental health and career-related concerns.

Her practice includes counseling that addresses disability-related topics such as diversity, adjustment, and legal obligations under ADA law. In addition to disability-focused work, common clinical areas include stress management, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, domestic violence, communication difficulties, work-life balance, practical life skills, and strategies to support academic success.

Moler offers career-related guidance and provides supervision from that perspective, though her experience in formal career counseling is more limited. She is certified to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other career inventories to help clarify interests and work-related strengths.

Her therapeutic approach draws heavily on Solution-Focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - methods that emphasize client strengths, empowerment, and practical skill-building. She often assigns between-session work to reinforce progress, uses role-play to practice new skills, and provides handouts as lasting resources. Treatment plans are individualized and guided by client goals.

Moler’s counseling style is warm, collaborative, and interactive. She works with respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, with an emphasis on empowering individuals and meeting them where they are. She believes the decision to begin counseling takes courage and views the therapeutic process as a worthwhile effort toward a healthier, more satisfying life. She is prepared to assist and support individuals who choose to begin that work.
