About Mariel
Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma.
Dr. Moore combines practical strategies and a warm, person-centered stance to help parents and individuals find clearer ways forward. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused work.
Background and approach
Sessions typically center on concrete goals set together. Parents often work on communication, bedtime and sleep issues, managing stress, and balancing caregiving demands. Dr.
Moore builds individual plans rather than a one-size-fits-all program. She listens for what is most urgent, then helps clients try short experiments between sessions to test new habits and routines. Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can shift as needed.
Her background includes experience in inpatient and outpatient substance use counseling and work alongside physicians supporting patients with serious illnesses. That experience informs how she helps people cope with grief, medical transitions, and major life stressors. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Practical concerns like scheduling and subscription details are handled through the platform sign-up and matching process.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can help parents clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and daily structure. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection, useful when relationship patterns affect family life and parenting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these options and collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily realities. Plans can blend elements from different approaches and change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging helps with brief coaching or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility and practical access for parents balancing many responsibilities.
