    About Moriah

    Moriah Kreppein Riquelme is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She brings eight years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with motivation and addictions. Her work focuses on practical changes that fit each person's life. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

    In sessions she listens first and tailors conversations to individual needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are struggling with change or uncertainty about next steps.

    She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, useful steps clients can try between sessions. When trauma is a factor she incorporates Trauma-Focused methods to address distress and reclaim daily functioning. The emphasis is on clear, doable goals rather than long lists of tasks.

    Moriah pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns shape relationships and self-image. She supports people working through fertility concerns, workplace stress, shame, grief around past hurts, and questions about life purpose. Sessions aim to build self-compassion, stronger boundaries, and steady coping skills.

    She offers straightforward guidance about practical next steps and checks in on progress. If you want a calm, respectful space to sort out difficult feelings or make a change, she helps people take those steps.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out mixed feelings about change. It uses questions and reflection to build motivation and move toward practical steps when someone feels stuck.

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist mirrors concerns, offers empathy, and helps people decide what matters most for them.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort. That process can include trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is observed.

    The practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit a check-in between commitments, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter phone-style conversation when a quick update is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, goal-setting, and reflection work to the online setting so therapy stays focused and usable.
