How her approaches translate to online sessions
Moriah integrates client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing into her online work. Client-centered therapy means she listens to what the person says matters most and follows that lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to name what they are feeling and decide what to work on first.Motivational interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons to change. It is practical and conversational and can help with addictions, motivation struggles, or making behavioral shifts. Solution-focused techniques add short-term direction by identifying small, achievable next steps to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate on goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust if something isn’t helpful. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize short-term steps or deeper trauma-focused work.
