About Mariel

Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a background in family-focused work.

Parents and caregivers will find her direct, practical style easy to follow. She aims to help families and individuals find clearer routines, better communication, and manageable steps forward. Dr.

Moore uses a cooperative approach in sessions. She listens closely and helps people set concrete goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on everyday strategies that parents can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered listening to shape each plan. Her practice includes work with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and relationship challenges.

She also addresses issues like grief, body image, commitment and communication problems, and challenges faced by blended families. Dr. Moore has experience supporting people through cancer-related adjustment and aging concerns.

Session plans are individualized. She reviews what’s working and adjusts plans over time. Parents can expect straightforward feedback, goal setting, and practical tools to use at home.

The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Dr. Moore provides care in English and practices in Alabama.

She offers a variety of online session formats to fit different family schedules. Her style is grounded, empathetic, and focused on helping families improve everyday interactions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

The practice combines cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy into straightforward, usable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and respect, giving parents and children space to set their own goals and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what is most useful for the family and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Over time, the plan can change based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let families fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties. Sessions can be used for skill coaching, problem-solving, or check-ins to keep progress moving between meetings, making therapy more accessible for busy households.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
