Dr. Mariel Moore

Dr. Mariel Moore is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama, holding the designation AL LPC 3840. She earned a PhD in Family Therapy from Amridge University in 2016 and brings eight years of clinical experience to her private practice, where she works with children, teenagers, and family units. Earlier in her career she provided both inpatient and outpatient substance abuse counseling with independent agencies.

Her primary therapeutic approach blends person-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques, emphasizing empathy, attentive listening, and a cooperative relationship with each client. She encourages clients to set meaningful goals and works to keep sessions authentic, balanced, and focused on measurable progress from one meeting to the next.

Dr. Moore creates individualized treatment plans informed by current research so that each session addresses the unique needs and personality of the person or family she is supporting. She applies an integrated approach when appropriate, collaborating with local physicians to assist clients and their families in adjusting to medical challenges, including management of terminal illnesses.

Her clinical experience covers depression, anxiety, ADHD, conduct and adjustment disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of childhood disorders. She also supports clients with career transitions, self-esteem work, coping skills, team-building, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and LGBT relationship issues. With children and teenagers she frequently engages the family system, believing that changes in one family member affect the whole unit. Dr. Moore aims to help clients discover their authentic selves and strengthen relationships with themselves and others to foster greater peace and self-appreciation.
