About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's knowledge of their own life and strengths.
Background and approach
Moriah aims to support people who want clearer direction, relief from heavy emotions, or healthier day-to-day patterns. She uses methods that focus on connection, present experience, and practical change.
That includes Gottman Method work for relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
Clients talk about what matters and leave with concrete steps to try between meetings. Moriah helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes.
She also addresses ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin patterns.
Her approach centers on collaboration and practical problem-solving. She listens, reflects, and then suggests exercises or small experiments clients can test.
Progress is measured in things people notice in daily life rather than abstract scores. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Cost varies with location and use of a cancelable subscription model. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and small daily habits that shape relationships. It aims to help people notice patterns, manage conflict more calmly, and build more positive moments together. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about personal values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their own problem-solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps someone in their life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, quick coaching, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and to keep momentum between meetings.
