About Nelly
Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English, Armenian, and Persian.
She focuses on parenting concerns alongside relationship, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. She keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first and helps people say what matters most.
Her style blends empathy with practical steps to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle daily parenting struggles.
Background and approach
Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered work to follow the person's pace.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also brings existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity, and deeper life questions. Hypnotherapy is part of her toolkit when a focused approach may help with habits or intense stress responses.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, domestic violence, and grief, and she has worked with people who have experienced childhood abuse and high-conflict relationships. She combines clinical experience with cultural sensitivity from living and working in multiple countries. Parents who want concrete strategies and a safe space to talk about hard feelings may find her helpful.
She offers sessions in multiple formats and can work with international clients when that fits the person's needs.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon uses client-centered therapy to follow a person's lead and build a trusting space. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and supporting the person as they name what matters and decide on next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behavior changes, and measure practical progress for issues like anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so therapy fits the person's life and concerns.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick reflections, coaching-style guidance, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into workdays, parenting schedules, or while living in another country.
