Dr. Mariel Moore, LPC

Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a practical, goal-focused style to sessions. Dr. Moore aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges with clear steps and steady support.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and emotionally focused ideas. Sessions are collaborative - the client helps set goals and the counselor offers tools to reach them. Dr. Moore listens closely and focuses on what works between appointments.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient substance counseling and a private practice setting. That mix shaped a straightforward approach to common problems like sleep trouble, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and career stress. She also addresses concerns such as body image, abandonment, hoarding, and coping after disasters.

Dr. Moore adapts plans to each person instead of using one template. She draws on current research to refresh techniques and keep sessions practical. The aim is steady progress from week to week so people leave sessions with manageable next steps.

People who choose her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk. Her style blends listening with concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new behaviors, and reviewing progress between appointments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while choosing values-based actions; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected while you set the pace and goals for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick methods that fit personality and life demands rather than assuming a single path up front.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief coaching, tracking progress, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
