About Moriah
Moriah Kreppein Riquelme is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds the LCSW credential and brings eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. She emphasizes a respectful and compassionate atmosphere for each person who reaches out.
Her work focuses on real-life concerns like self-esteem, motivation, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, fertility-related stress, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Workplace challenges and questions about life purpose are also within her scope.
Moriah adapts how she talks and plans sessions to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. Solution-focused and trauma-informed approaches guide practical steps when relevant.
Sessions aim for clear goals and small, manageable steps that fit daily life. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is working and what needs to change. People looking for help with women's issues or young adult concerns may find her perspective useful.
She invites anyone who is nervous about starting therapy to acknowledge that first step. The initial process includes a matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability, so people know what to expect before their first session.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel heard and make choices that matter. Motivational interviewing uses short conversations to build willingness to change, which can help with addictions, low motivation, and starting new habits. Trauma-focused methods pay attention to how past hurt affects current life and add careful steps for processing hard memories and reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply what they learn between sessions.
