About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a New Mexico LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with 31 years of experience helping people facing major life shifts. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, and career questions.
MacCleod works from the view that clients know their story best and already have strengths to draw on. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify practical steps they can try. Conversations are concrete and focused on what the client wants to change or understand next.
Her background includes several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR. She uses these methods to address symptoms and patterns, and to help people manage distressing memories, relationship conflicts, and difficult transitions.
She often supports people working through issues such as abandonment or attachment difficulties, blended family and caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and grief tied to divorce or separation. Addiction-related concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness are also within her practice focus.
Sessions aim to clarify immediate goals, try practical strategies, and track what helps. People looking for support with life purpose or next steps after a change can expect a pragmatic, collaborative approach that connects coping skills with longer term values and goals.
Practical therapy approaches for remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. It often focuses on small, practical experiments to help someone act in line with what matters despite anxiety or uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts, behaviors, and symptoms by testing assumptions and practicing new responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and disturbing images through structured processing steps. It is often chosen by people who feel stuck by past events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before to decide together which methods to try first. Sessions can mix approaches and change over time as the client’s needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in their usual environment and apply changes between meetings, while the therapist guides the process and adjusts plans based on progress.
