About Mariel
Dr. Mariel Moore is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and issues related to LGBT identity, among other areas. She also lists concerns like sleep problems, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Moore trained in family therapy and brings that perspective into how she talks about problems at home. She prefers a client-centered stance and often uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused; clients help set the objectives they want to work toward.
Her background includes work in substance abuse settings and inpatient and outpatient care, plus private practice experience. That mix informs how she addresses grief, adjustment to serious illness, and blended family stress. She also names practical topics such as career issues, communication problems, and hoarding among her focus areas.
In the room she emphasizes clear listening and steady follow-through from session to session. Treatment plans are individualized and she draws on current research to keep sessions relevant. She reports using approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques.
People who are managing family conflict, parenting strain, or transitions at home may find her experience relevant. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that recur at home. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so clients can set their own goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests new ways of responding, often with practical exercises between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That means methods may shift over time as progress or new priorities emerge.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and keeping regular appointments during transitions. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make shorter check-ins, weekly sessions, or focused skill practice easier to schedule alongside parenting and home responsibilities.
