About Moriah

Moriah McCarthy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 11 years of experience to short- and long-term work. She emphasizes Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches. Her style balances exploring the past with practical steps people can use right away.

She blends talking about life stories with hands-on skills building. Sessions often include learning tools, simple education about how emotions work, and exercises to try between meetings.

Background and approach

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Moriah pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She helps people name patterns, shift unhelpful stories, and take small steps toward change.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports those navigating relationship and intimacy-related challenges, LGBT issues, parenting stress, and problems with sleeping or addiction. Other areas she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.

Moriah practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is collaborative - she invites feedback and centers each person's goals. People who want a mix of empathy and practical strategies may find her style helpful.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Moriah directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Using Narrative and ACT in online sessions

Many clients benefit from Narrative Therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. The work involves separating a person from a problem and rewriting unhelpful narratives, which can help with issues like identity, relationship patterns, and life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another approach Moriah uses. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. This style often helps with anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and it happens together. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to shape sessions to each person's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy going around work, family, or travel.
