Moriah Kreppein Riquelme

Moriah Kreppein Riquelme is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Moriah also focuses on life purpose questions and related concerns such as workplace issues and young adult struggles.

Her style is direct and person-centered. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps shape concrete next steps. Motivational techniques are used when people feel stuck or unsure how to begin making changes.

Moriah uses solution-focused methods to break larger problems into manageable goals. That approach helps people try small experiments and track what works. When past events are causing ongoing distress, she draws on trauma-focused methods to address those memories and reactions safely.

She often helps people who feel isolated or overwhelmed by shame, guilt, or attachment wounds. Topics she addresses include abandonment, communication problems, fertility concerns, forgiveness, and self-love. She also supports people navigating transitions at work or in early adulthood.

Sessions look at immediate practical moves while also attending to deeper patterns. Moriah helps clients clarify priorities and try concrete strategies between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the platform's booking flow.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Many of her sessions use client-centered techniques that focus on listening closely and following what the client says is most important. This approach is useful for sorting out confusing feelings and deciding which problem to tackle first.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people who feel stuck find reasons to try change. That method helps identify internal motivation and small, doable steps toward goals. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term goals and try practical experiments between sessions to see what changes are helpful.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to test methods, adjust goals, and decide which blend of approaches fits best based on their needs and preferences.

Session format details are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt these methods to virtual meetings to focus on immediate coping strategies and gradual behavior change.
