About Moriah
Moriah MacCleod is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 31 years of experience. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and practical steps. Moriah emphasizes steady, respectful support as people work toward clearer goals and greater self worth.
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that small changes add up. Conversations focus on what matters most right now, from managing anxiety to rebuilding confidence after loss. She uses straightforward language and short-term goals to keep progress manageable.
Over three decades of practice have included help for stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also addresses relationship and family-related issues, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and the wounds that come from abandonment and family of origin problems. Self esteem and career concerns are commonly part of the work.
Moriah draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and EMDR when appropriate. The aim is to pick tools that fit the problem and the person, not force a single method.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions look at patterns, practice new skills, and plan small experiments to test change. She supports people through grief, life transitions, and the everyday choices that shape wellbeing.
