01About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional counselor, LPCC, practicing in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths. Her focus is on helping people move toward a more fulfilling, less stressful life.
She uses practical, talk-based work to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Sessions often break big problems into small, manageable steps. She also helps people cope with life changes, grief, addiction, and career concerns.
Background and approach
Moriah draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help clarify values and build actions that match them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are used when emotions and past painful memories need careful attention. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace so people feel heard while they work through attachment, abandonment, or family of origin issues. She also helps with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, communication and commitment challenges, blended family issues, and substance concerns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with steps people can practice between meetings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs. Moriah offers multiple ways to connect so therapy can work around busy lives.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building steady habits rather than chasing quick fixes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change thought and behavior patterns that feed depression and anxiety. It often uses short exercises and between-session practice to reinforce progress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used when painful memories or trauma need careful processing; sessions move at a pace that feels manageable for the person.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your story, discuss options, and together you will choose methods that match your goals and comfort level. This collaborative process makes it easier to try different tools and settle on what helps you most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel while focusing on steady, practical progress.
