Dr. Moriah Taylor, LPC

Dr. Moriah Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and nearly two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and the aftermath of trauma. She uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address complex concerns including suicidal thoughts, self-harming behavior, relationship difficulties, and questions around gender and sexual identity.

Her work is collaborative and holistic - she treats clients as partners, combining skill-building in emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness with attentive listening when a neutral sounding board is most helpful. Dr. Taylor emphasizes a non-judgmental stance and adapts her approach to match each person’s goals and life circumstances, with the overall aim of helping people build a life that feels meaningful and worth living.

Outside of clinical work she is a certified yoga instructor and a parent of a teen who enjoys traveling, kayaking, and hiking. She also loves animals and reading, and is willing to suggest books or authors that may support a client’s work. Because her schedule can change quickly, she asks prospective clients to contact her before scheduling a live session to confirm current availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, and other mood concerns. It is practical and skill-focused, often used to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-harming behaviors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact. It is commonly used when past traumatic events continue to affect present-day well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Taylor works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines skill-building with supportive exploration so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing work to continue through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations within the therapist’s service area, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
