About Moriah

Dr. Moriah Taylor focuses on concerns parents often worry about, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, family problems, and issues around gender and sexual identity. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

She approaches these matters with plain talk and practical skills rather than jargon. Dr. Taylor uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people reduce distress and build new coping tools.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions collaborative and focused on each person's goals. Sessions often include skill training in emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal communication. She holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC.

Her Missouri license number is MO LPC 2006012621. She has 19 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and offers practical guidance alongside emotional support. A parent and outdoors enthusiast, she mentions enjoying travel, kayaking, hiking, animals, and reading.

She can suggest books or authors that fit a client's situation when helpful. Her approach aims to help people build a life that feels meaningful and manageable. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Taylor commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address symptoms and reactions. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR uses guided processing to help reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and related reactions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work collaborative and respectful of each person's pace and priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and she works with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow follow-up and skill coaching between sessions, and make it easier to fit therapy into family and work routines. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to these formats so clients get practical skills and emotional support in ways that suit their lives.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
