Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen

Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what’s happening and try new ways of responding. Her style is warm and direct, and she treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Ada draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead and help them set useful goals. She also uses motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and boost motivation for change. Together these approaches are meant to make practical steps feel doable instead of overwhelming.

Her five years of experience include work in foster care, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital. That background shaped a flexible approach for people facing big life stressors and complex histories. Ada has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills. People often work on recognizing triggers, practicing new responses to anger, and building coping tools for everyday life. Ada helps break larger problems into small, manageable steps so changes can stick.

She encourages anyone thinking about help to reach out and start the process. After an initial conversation she will work with each person to set realistic goals and a plan that fits their life.

How her approaches shape online work

Ada uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when people want practical problem solving and a therapist who reflects their goals and values.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people who feel unsure about change. That method focuses on clear, manageable steps and on strengthening a person’s own reasons for making changes, which can help with anger, stress, and other life transitions.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Ada will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. She collaborates on a plan and checks in frequently to make sure the approach still fits.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on a tighter schedule. It can also let people keep momentum between appointments by practicing skills in their daily routines and discussing what worked at the next meeting.
