About Moriah
Dr. Moriah Taylor helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and issues around identity and self-worth.
Background and approach
She works with concerns like parenting stress, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and career struggles. Dr.
Taylor provides a calm, non-judgmental presence and focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
She blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma and draws on Gottman Method ideas when relationship patterns are involved.
Sessions often include skill-building in emotion regulation, mindfulness exercises, and practice in communication. Dr.
Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She has 19 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including suicidal thoughts and self-harming behavior, and she brings that experience to bear in a steady, empathetic way.
She can suggest books and resources that fit a person’s needs. Outside of practice she is a parent to a teen and enjoys traveling, kayaking, hiking, and reading.
She is also a certified yoga instructor and values movement and grounding practices in life. These interests inform her practical, whole-person outlook in sessions.
People who choose to work with her can expect plain language, clear goals, and tools to use day to day. Dr.
Taylor aims to help people find a life that feels meaningful and worth living.
Therapeutic approaches used in online therapy
Dr. Taylor frequently uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at relationship patterns and improve communication and connection. Gottman-informed work focuses on practical skills for managing conflict and rebuilding trust in everyday interactions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors to change mood and stress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep or eating difficulties. EMDR is another tool she uses for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional hold, often helpful when past events continue to cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This can mean mixing skill practice, mindfulness, EMDR processing, or Gottman-informed communication exercises depending on what shows the most benefit.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text messaging support quick check-ins, homework, or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when travel or schedule changes occur.
