About Mariel

Dr. Mariel Moore is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, career issues, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQ matters. Sessions are offered in English and she works from a private practice setting in Alabama.

Moore uses a client-centered stance alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She encourages clients to set clear goals and uses short-term, practical steps to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Expect sessions that emphasize listening and collaborative planning rather than long lectures.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse settings and coordination with local physicians for clients managing serious medical conditions. She holds a PhD in Family Therapy from Amridge University and brings experience working with children, teenagers, and adults on mood and behavioral concerns. Her LPC credential is maintained in Alabama.

In practice she creates individual treatment plans and adds materials from current research. That means sessions often include homework-like experiments, communication practice, and simple strategies for sleep and stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment themes, blended family issues, body image, hoarding, and coping after disasters.

People who look for concrete, structured support may find this approach useful. Moore focuses on steady progress from session to session and on practical tools clients can use between meetings.

Practical approaches used in remote sessions

Dr. Moore draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit common everyday problems. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short experiments, which helps with anxiety, sleep, and stress. ACT emphasizes noticing values and making small moves toward them even when uncomfortable feelings remain, which can help with meaning, motivation, and coping with loss or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review goals, preferences, and how a client's concerns show up, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is seen or new issues arise.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a client can use a lunch break or evening slot. Discuss scheduling and the practical details up-front to match therapy to everyday life.
