Dr. Mariel Moore, LPC

Dr. Mariel Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She has eight years of experience in counseling and currently practices in private care. She focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship or family strains. Dr. Moore also supports people facing depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career decisions, and issues related to LGBT identity and bipolar mood management.

She trained in family therapy and brings a client-centered outlook to sessions. That means she listens closely and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral methods are part of her work, so clients can expect to look at thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and behavior. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Dr. Moore uses individual treatment plans tailored to each person. She draws on current research to keep sessions relevant and to help people maintain progress between meetings. Her background includes inpatient and outpatient substance-abuse counseling and collaboration with physicians for clients facing serious illness.

Her approach often blends emotional work with practical skills like coping strategies, communication practice, and steps for better sleep or daily routine changes. She emphasizes authenticity, empathy, and steady progress from session to session. People seeking help with attachment, abandonment, body image, bereavement, hoarding, or caregiving stress may find this mix useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and Dr. Moore does not accept international clients. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take action based on personal values. This can help with anxiety, stress, and problems like feeling stuck in routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and everyday habits that keep problems going, then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and helping the client set their own goals so sessions feel guided by the person seeking help.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process can include adjusting techniques as the relationship and goals evolve.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and focus on practical skills like sleep routines, exposure exercises, or communication practice. Many people find that working remotely helps them bring changes in thoughts and everyday habits directly into daily life.
