About Moriah

Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to face hard moments. She offers calm, steady support for people ready to make change and build more satisfying days.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and listening. She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain of caregiving. She also works with concerns such as addiction, relationship problems, self-esteem, and life changes. Conversations aim to be clear and useful rather than full of jargon.

Moriah draws from approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to reduce distress, improve communication, and process difficult memories when that is part of the work.

She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family stresses, and patterns like codependency and control. She also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set realistic goals and try small changes between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that increase distress, which is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and daily life and then suggest which methods to try. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what feels comfortable for you.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep therapy going through life changes or when in different locations within the same country. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises, mood tracking, and communication work to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
