About Moriah

Moriah McCarthy is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings 11 years of experience to her practice in Florida. She frames therapy around the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and aims to help people find steadiness during hard times. Her style mixes insight with practical tools so clients leave with skills they can use.

Her sessions combine looking at past patterns with focused work on current problems.

Background and approach

She uses education and skills-building so people can practice coping strategies between sessions. The goal is to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions into a clearer sense of self. Moriah leans on client-centered principles, which means she steps back and follows the person's pace and priorities.

She also brings in approaches from existential and mindfulness therapy to help people face big questions and stay present. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative techniques inform the work when it helps shape values and rewrite harmful stories. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related struggles.

Other focus areas include relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, communication problems, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses topics like LGBT concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and women’s issues. Moriah aims to collaborate with each person to set goals and build momentum toward the changes they want.

Online support

Applying Existential and ACT ideas online

Moriah uses Existential Therapy to help people face life’s big questions and find personal meaning. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck about purpose, identity, or major life transitions and wants clearer direction rather than quick fixes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT focuses on values-based action and simple exercises that help people move toward what matters to them, even when emotions are strong. These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Finding the right mix often happens over the first few sessions, and adjustments are made together as work progresses. Online formats support this work through flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, homework prompts, or quick support between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or parenting demands while using existential and ACT-based practices in everyday life.
