About Mariel
Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who brings eight years of professional experience to her independent practice.
Background and approach
She earned a PhD in Family Therapy from Amridge University in 2016 and previously provided inpatient and outpatient substance abuse counseling through independent agencies. In independent practice she works with children, teenagers, and family units and collaborates with local physicians when supporting patients managing serious or terminal illnesses.
Her clinical stance blends client-centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emphasizing respectful listening, empathy, and cooperative goal-setting. She builds individualized treatment plans and draws on current research to shape each session, guiding clients to set objectives and track progress across visits.
Areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, career issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, along with a range of related concerns such as attachment and communication problems, blended family issues, body image, and coping with disaster. Dr.
Moore aims to help clients reconnect with an authentic sense of self and improve interpersonal functioning through practical skills, supportive feedback, and a balanced therapeutic relationship.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dr. Moore often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it lends itself to structured exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to help people tolerate difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals, which can be practiced during and between online visits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful, adapting methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for each person and family system.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or travel is difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to use tools like worksheets, guided exercises, and conversational check-ins in ways that support ongoing progress.
