About Mariel
Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed LPC practicing in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She welcomes people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and the emotional fallout from trauma and loss. Her work includes support for people facing LGBT-related concerns, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Dr. Moore favors a person-centered stance that keeps conversations grounded in the client's goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotion-focused ideas guide work on attachment and relationship patterns, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-driven choices.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills and clear goals. She listens, reflects, and helps people turn what they learn in session into changes between meetings. People who prefer collaborative planning and straightforward tools often find this approach useful.
Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient substance use settings as well as private practice and collaborations with physicians caring for patients with serious medical conditions. This range shapes a flexible approach to issues like grief, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Dr. Moore builds individual treatment plans and draws on current research to keep sessions relevant. She aims to help people reconnect with their values, improve relationships, and reduce patterns that cause distress.
How therapy approaches inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach supports people who need listening and collaboration before moving to specific techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking-behavior links and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches over time until a workable plan emerges.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use audio-only meetings if video is difficult or choose sessions that better match their pace and energy. Licensed professionals adapt tools like ACT and CBT to work over distance, focusing on skills you can practice between meetings and concrete steps to track progress.
