About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's strengths and life story. She invites people to take the brave step toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support through that process.
She uses methods that help people notice what matters to them and take small workable steps toward it. Sessions focus on clear, practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depression.
How Moriah works
She also helps people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, and family of origin difficulties. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, commitment questions, and caregiver stress.
Career concerns, self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness are common topics addressed in session. Moriah combines client-centered listening with approaches that change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. She uses tools drawn from acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed.
The goal is practical change that fits each person's values and day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a range of online formats. Moriah works with people who want steady, respectful guidance while they build new habits and face difficult feelings.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process traumatic memories when past events continue to cause distress.Moriah treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to your goals and tries strategies that fit your needs. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps most, combining elements from different methods as appropriate.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face to face for skill practice and EMDR-style processing, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family routines, and other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical progress.
