About Moriah
Dr. Moriah Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, identity issues, and a wide range of other early-adult challenges including career stress and ADHD.
She helps people who struggle with feeling stuck after school or when starting a first job. She talks through relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating issues, and family-of-origin problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach mixes clear, active techniques with time to talk. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for skills to manage mood, worry, and strong emotions. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related work when appropriate.
Dr. Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and is a certified yoga instructor. She offers practical tools such as emotion regulation training, mindfulness exercises, and communication skills practice. She can also act as a neutral sounding board when someone needs straightforward reflection and planning.
She notes that session scheduling can change quickly, so she asks people to check current options before booking. She is based in Missouri and works in English. Outside of work she enjoys traveling, kayaking, hiking, animals, and recommending books that might help a client's situation.
Therapeutic approaches used and what to expect online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs someone to reflect back their experience and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. It is useful for worry, mood shifts, and early-career stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with strong emotions, relationship conflict, and coping with overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try, adjust goals, and check what works best over time. That means some sessions may focus on skills practice, others on processing past experiences, and some on planning next steps for life and work.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as scheduling and options can change. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals use a mix of talking, guided exercises, mindfulness practice, and skills coaching that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply what they learn to daily life.
