About Moriah
Dr. Moriah Taylor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Missouri with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with identity questions, grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating issues, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar symptoms.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related memories. Sessions are collaborative and involve learning skills as well as talking through experiences.
Dr. Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and brings nearly two decades of clinical practice to her work. She offers training in mindfulness and emotion regulation skills and can suggest books or exercises between sessions. She describes clients as partners and aims to help people build routines and strategies that make day-to-day life more manageable.
She mentions experience addressing serious concerns such as suicidal thoughts and self-harming behavior, and she can support gender and sexual identity issues. Her style includes teaching interpersonal skills and providing a steady, nonjudgmental perspective while working toward practical goals.
Outside of clinical work she is a certified yoga instructor and a parent of a teen who enjoys hiking, kayaking, and reading. She is willing to recommend reading material relevant to a person's situation and asks prospective clients to confirm session options before scheduling.
Online options and therapeutic approaches
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions often include homework such as thought records or activity scheduling.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving communication. For trauma-related concerns she offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method that works with distressing memories and the sensations they bring up.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may combine skills training with CBT-based homework or trauma-focused work as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skill practice to remote work so progress continues between sessions.
