Dr. Moriah Taylor

Dr. Moriah Taylor helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating and food-related issues. She practices in Missouri and brings 19 years of clinical experience to sessions. Dr. Taylor aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside client-centered methods. That means sessions often combine practical skill-building with emotional support. She can teach emotion regulation, mindfulness exercises, and interpersonal skills, or simply listen and reflect as a sounding board.

Dr. Taylor holds a doctorate in human and organizational psychology and practices as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Her work has included a wide range of concerns, from relationship and intimacy-related issues to grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and body image. She also notes experience with sexual and gender identity questions and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she favors collaboration: goals are set together and adjusted over time. She sometimes suggests reading or exercises between meetings and can recommend books related to a client’s situation. Her background as a certified yoga instructor informs some mindfulness work but does not replace talk therapy.

She is a parent and enjoys travel, kayaking, hiking, and animals. People who prefer a straightforward, practical approach that still makes room for emotion often find her style approachable and down-to-earth.

How specific approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps with building motivation and exploring what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest a plan that may combine methods. Changes to the plan are made together as progress and needs become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into busy days, reducing travel time, and allowing a steady rhythm of meetings and skill practice between appointments. It also makes it easier to try brief check-ins or focused skill sessions when those fit a client’s routine. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practice, and reading recommendations to an online setting so therapy remains practical and goal oriented.
