About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. She brings 31 years of experience and a straightforward, supportive style. Parents and individuals often turn to her when stress, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming.
She centers sessions on the client’s own strengths and perspectives. She treats people as partners in the work and encourages small, doable steps toward what matters to them. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
Moriah uses several well-known methods to guide sessions, including acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. She also incorporates emotion-focused work and EMDR when processing trauma and strong emotional memories. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. She also helps with career pressure, self-esteem, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. People who choose her often want clear steps and steady support.
She emphasizes collaboration, respectful listening, and realistic goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire pairs a person with a session format that fits their schedule.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories to reduce their intensity, and can be helpful for people affected by past trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan matches what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently across changing schedules.
