Dr. Moriah Taylor, LPC

Dr. Moriah Taylor helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also supports concerns like parenting strain, grief, body image, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and issues around gender and sexual identity. Dr. Taylor practices from Missouri and brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to her work.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), client-centered work, and relational tools such as the Gottman Method. Sessions often include skills training in emotion regulation, mindfulness, and communication practice.

Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. She treats people as partners in planning goals and choosing strategies. Sometimes she acts as a sounding board; other times she teaches concrete skills to manage distress or improve relationships.

Dr. Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She also teaches yoga and brings an interest in movement and breath work into parts of her work when appropriate. She has practical experience addressing self-harm and suicidal thoughts as part of broader treatment plans.

Outside of clinical work she is a parent who enjoys traveling, kayaking, hiking, reading, and animals. She is willing to suggest books or resources that might fit a client's situation and emphasizes finding ways to build a life that feels meaningful and sustainable.

Approaches you can use online with a therapist

Dr. Taylor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depression. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills for stronger relationships and better coping.

She also offers client-centered work that centers the person's experience and priorities, aiming to make therapy a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit best based on the client's goals, symptoms, and preferences. That collaborative choice happens early and can change as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full-session work and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or when a written log of thoughts is useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping a consistent schedule.
