  • ACT and mindfulness
  • Client-centered care
  • Narrative work

About Moriah

Moriah McCarthy is a Florida LMHC with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, and issues such as guilt and shame. She also helps people navigating parenting, career changes, grief, ADHD, and questions of intimacy and sexual identity.

Her approach blends client-centered work with practical skills. Sessions include discussion of past experiences to build understanding, along with concrete psychoeducation and skills-building. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts and values, then try out new behaviors that match what matters to them.

Moriah favors collaborative work. She invites feedback and encourages people to take an active role in shaping their care. Strengths and challenges are explored so thoughts, feelings, and actions fit together more clearly.

She draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people untangle painful stories and practice being present. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are used to clarify values and commit to small, manageable steps toward those values.

Sessions aim to leave people with usable tools. Psychoeducation and skill practice are common, so clients have concrete strategies to use between meetings. Moriah describes her style as client-centered and creative, and she focuses on practical ways to support continued progress.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for persistent guilt, anxiety, or when someone wants a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s lead. This approach supports people who need a respectful, collaborative conversation to make sense of their feelings and decide practical next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel requirements, or the option to choose audio-only when bandwidth is low. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and skills practice to work well over distance while helping clients keep progress connected to everyday routines.
