About Nelly

Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English, Armenian, and Persian.

She guides people through painful moments like loss, anxiety, or relationship strain in a direct and compassionate way. She believes hard moments can also be opportunities for growth. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and on practical steps to feel steadier.

Background and approach

She uses clear, straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon. Her background includes extensive work with people affected by domestic or sexual abuse, and with those who have had difficult family histories. She draws on several therapeutic ideas to match the approach to each person’s needs, including existential perspectives that help address meaning and purpose.

Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon also uses client-centered methods to prioritize the client's voice and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions. Other tools she may draw on include hypnotherapy and Jungian concepts when they fit the work at hand.

People often come to her for help with depression, stress, parenting challenges, grief, communication problems, anger, and career decisions. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and practical, aimed at helping people build coping skills and clearer direction. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, purpose, and the real choices they face. It is useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or is navigating big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and the client's own pace; it helps people feel heard and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to teach practical skills for coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they can try different methods and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when a camera is not needed, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter exchanges or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum during transitions.
