About Ada
Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other issues. She keeps sessions warm and straightforward so parents can talk about what’s hard right now. Ada listens first and helps people decide small, practical steps they can try between visits.
She uses a client-centered approach, which means she follows each person’s priorities and works at their pace. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and collaborative rather than lecture-style. Her clinical experience spans five years in New York. Ada has worked in foster care settings, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital.
That variety shaped how she thinks about family dynamics and stress in everyday life. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She aims to translate therapy ideas into actions that fit a family’s routines and needs.
The practice style is respectful and direct. Ada invites parents to try small experiments between sessions and to bring what’s happening at home into therapy. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Ada’s Approaches Work Online
Ada uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities, listen closely, and shape sessions around real-life concerns. This approach helps when parents want a therapist who adapts to their goals and routines.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. That method is useful for making gradual shifts in behavior, like new parenting strategies or coping habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ada will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then together they decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made as needed so the work fits the family’s pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging supports short check-ins or follow-ups between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while managing schedules and daily demands.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
