About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She centers therapy on each person's strengths and practical steps. She emphasizes collaboration and steady support while people make changes in their lives.
She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person in front of her rather than a single method. That means sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and learning ways to manage intense feelings.
Background and approach
For people dealing with ADHD, she helps them find routines and strategies that reduce daily overwhelm. Moriah helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, substance issues, and work-related burnout.
Specific problem areas she has worked with include attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication struggles, and guilt or shame. Practical coaching is part of her work when clients want help setting goals and sticking to them. She also uses approaches aimed at healing emotional wounds and reducing the impact of past trauma.
Sessions are conversational and focused on skills people can try between meetings. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits the person's availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching flexible ways to respond instead of getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical skills such as time management and organization.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then blend methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so tools and strategies match real-life challenges.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let sessions feel like a face-to-face conversation while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter space is available and bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try strategies in the context of everyday life.
