Dr. Moriah Taylor

Dr. Moriah Taylor helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, and the fallout of trauma. She works with those dealing with stress, relationship pain, grief, body-image struggles, and questions about gender and sexual identity. She aims to offer steady, practical help so day-to-day life becomes more manageable.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats people as partners and focuses on clear skills you can use between sessions. Conversations may include emotion regulation practice, mindfulness exercises, or learning new ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dr. Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and has 19 years of clinical experience. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Missouri. Her background includes work with trauma, self-harm ideation, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method. She can teach emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, and mindfulness, or serve as a listening presence depending on what someone needs.

Outside work she is a certified yoga instructor and a parent who enjoys hiking and kayaking. She also recommends books when that fits a client’s goals. Before scheduling a live session, she asks people to check current availability since her calendar can change quickly.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship; online sessions can provide a calm space to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and often includes homework like activity scheduling or thought records to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress through practices such as mindfulness and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and daily life and help decide which methods fit best. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what’s working and what isn’t.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that working from home or another calm spot helps them practice skills in real life between sessions, and therapists can assign exercises to try during the week to reinforce progress.
