About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is an LPCC licensed in New Mexico with 31 years of professional experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue.
She works from the idea that each person knows their story best and brings useful strengths to therapy. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. She encourages straightforward steps people can try between meetings to notice what helps and what does not.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
In therapy she talks through current problems and the patterns that keep them going. She also addresses specific issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, substance use, and grief. Work can include skill-building, behavior experiments, and emotional processing.
People who come to her can expect a practical, steady process that names problems and tries concrete changes. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches fit with online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use structured exercises, homework, and brief behavioral trials to track what changes between meetings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take committed actions toward them. In remote sessions this can mean planning value-driven steps and reviewing progress in the next meeting.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. That approach supports collaborative goal-setting during online conversations.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to prioritize. That collaboration helps match CBT, ACT, or client-centered methods to the problem you bring.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and avoid travel time. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
