Dr. Mariel Moore, LPC

Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a background in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of life transitions. Dr. Moore uses a client-centered stance and practical techniques to make sessions feel manageable. She listens closely and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Her work often includes attention to attachment patterns, communication problems, and improving day-to-day coping skills. Her background includes counseling in substance use settings and collaborating with medical providers when clients face serious or terminal illness. That experience informs how she works with people managing grief, chronic illness, or the stresses that come with aging and geriatric issues. Therapy sessions are shaped around individual treatment plans. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas also appear in her practice when they fit a person’s goals. Dr. Moore aims to help people reconnect with their sense of self and improve relationships. She supports practical steps like building coping strategies, navigating career transitions, tackling hoarding or control issues, and addressing parenting or blended family concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Moore often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means the therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathic listening, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach can be especially helpful when adjusting to big life changes or handling relationship issues. Choosing a method is a collaborative process. She will review approaches with each person and together decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That flexibility helps tailor sessions whether someone needs short-term skills work or longer therapy for deeper change. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a break, or make it simpler to attend when mobility or caregiving responsibilities are factors.
