Hi!

My name is Moriah E. McCarthy. I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness.

Treatment with me blends the exploration of the past and the deepening of insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum. I use psycho-education and skills-building to empower clients to support themselves after counseling. Strengths and weaknesses are brought forward to integrate thoughts, feelings and actions into the whole self. I believe in collaborating with clients throughout the process. Clients feel supported and also challenged to take responsibility for their own success.

When you work with me, I hope that we partner in your treatment. I value your feedback, appreciate you opening to possibilities, and taking action for greater stability. My approach is best described as client-centered and creative. Thank you so much.

Let’s get started,

M.E.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mariah is LIFE CHANGING. I can't believe I was matched with such a perfect person! Also I wish I would've started therapy many many years ago. Might've saved me a lot of pain I caused myself trying to run from things or self medicate.

Oct 2022

I was looking for a great therapist on BetterHelp, and finally came upon moriah McCarthy. She is a notably great listener and great at addressing whatever my main needs or concerns may be. She is not judge mental whatsoever and she is always happy to talk to me which I appreciate a lot. Definitely one of my favorite therapists I have ever encountered.

Sep 2022

Moriah is such a great therapist and has really helped unlock and process trauma that has impacted me in my adult life. I have recommended so many of my friends to this service and to Moriah specifically.

Aug 2022

Mariah is fantastic. She's been a huge help in managing my mental health.

L.O.·Aug 2022

Moriah is a great therapist. She is relatable and knowledgeable and equally listens and supports with guidance.

T.R.·Aug 2022

Moriah has been a tremendous help in my journey to feeling better both mentally and emotionally. She is a great listener and has helped me think through my problems in a different perspective. I highly recommend her and hope to continue to have wonderful sessions with her.

J.E.·Jul 2022

Moriah has really helped me go through lots of life changes. She is very good at helping me challenge my beliefs and open up new ways of thinking/seeing the world which has helped me a lot with my anxiety. She is excellent, and has helped me pave the path for the life I truly want.

L.I.·Jun 2022

Moriah is absolutely wonderful, I have tried all kinds of therapy, coaching, spiritual counselors and she's by far one of the biggest factors in helping me be well and become functional in all aspects of my life

M.E.·Jun 2022

I think Moriah has great energy and knowledge, but I'm not sure if I'm vibing with her yet!

K.A.·May 2022

-She's supportive but impartial, which is a refreshing change of pace for me. -She never tries to make decisions for me, but helps me to be more confident in my own choices. -She stays practical when I'm whimsical, and stays hopeful when I'm cynical. I've never seen a proper therapist before her, but I find it difficult to imagine someone being better at this than she is.

T.R.·May 2022

I have worked with Moriah over 6 months and she has helped me work through anxiety, chronic pain, grief, and internal beliefs. She is a good listener and validated my feelings while also offering solutions and helped me reframe my thinking. I definitely recommend her and enjoy working with her!

A.L.·Apr 2022

Moriah is my favourite therapist out of the 4 I've had to date. She is attentive, observant and incredibly supportive - I love her energy and feel like she actually understands me specifically.

S.A.·Mar 2022

Shes very kind, listens very well and is very respectful

D.A.·Mar 2022

She's great

S.H.·Mar 2022

Moriah is the best therapist I've ever had. I really appreciate her style because she takes the time to listen to whatever it is that is going on in 'your world', as she puts it, and then (without any judgement) guides you towards realizing what it is you truly want. Her approach is all about helping you to find what is best for your unique and individual life, and I really like this because it's pushed me to think more seriously about my interpersonal relationships, and start to actually think about how I want to live my life. She is also very attentive and caring (:

L.I.·Feb 2022

moriah is wonderful at helping me clarify my values and perspective while balancing it with what is objectively known and therapeutically indicated and helpful

M.E.·Feb 2022

Moriah has been a huge help this past year! I’ve had so many thoughtful conversations with her that have really helped me work on anxiety, coping, and confidence. She’s very helpful and you can tell she’s focused and present in all of our sessions.

M.A.·Jan 2022

I've only had 2 sessions so far with Moriah but I am blown away with what she has helped me to understand about myself just from the first session alone. I have recommended her to both friends and family.

T.E.·Jan 2022

This is my first time to talk to a professional and I really like how the things are going every discussion. At first, I wasn't expecting so much about live sessions but after going through few of them, I believe it really helps me to go through what I am feeling right now.

D.O.·Nov 2021

Moriah has helped me tremendously and I would recommend her to anyone !! I was initially so nervous about trying therapy and talking to someone but Moriah’s warm and fun personality, whilst maintaining utmost professionalism made me feel comfortable. She genuinely listens, is honest, direct, and is not judgemental. I am very impressed with how quickly she picked up on the issues I needed work on and how applicable her advice and guidance was. It really showed how well trained and knowledgeable she is in her role. She challenges my thoughts and sheds light onto a lot of thoughts and behaviours I have been unaware of until now. I trust her and am lucky to have been matched with her

L.E.·Nov 2021

Moriah is extremely attentive and helps you figure out what's true and important for you from your own frame of reference. I had some bad experiences with coaching therapy and mentorship in the past and Moriah showed me what the contrast of respect and self trust looks like. I feel confident in confiding my deepest truths to Moriah even when they are not mainstream and I was afraid to be called crazy.

M.E.·Sep 2021

She’s very understanding and helps me realize different perspectives as well as help me understand and grow my boundaries.

N.A.·Aug 2021

We haven't said too much just yet as still early days but I appreciate her listening and I like that she makes an effort to understand and she has made me think about what I've said

A.D.·Jul 2021

This isn’t the first time I have had therapy, In the past I have had help from other therapists but feel I wasn’t getting anywhere. With Moriah I look forward to our next sessions and telling her how much she has helped me in the previous week. I feel I have a really good connection with her, she listens, really listens! I feel very supported by Moriah and would highly recommend her to friends and family if therapy is what they feel they need. I can’t fault her, she’s honestly the best therapist I have ever had! She’s great!

B..·May 2021

Moriah is understanding and she tries to help you through what you are experiencing in the moment. She genuinely wants to help you uncover your inner thoughts and grow from them. She is really flexible when it comes to communicating as well. I don't think I'd be seeking this out if she didn't try to hear my story and understand me for me.

K.Y.·May 2021

I find Moriah very easy to talk to and value her advice

C.L.·May 2021

I have been to counselling before and Moriah is everything I have ever looked for in a counsellor! She is supportive, caring and understanding. I particularly appreciate her honesty, humour and trustworthiness. Her holistic approach has helped me to see things from a different perspective and helped me when I was struggling the most. I am truly grateful to have met Moriah.

A.L.·Feb 2021

She’s simply fantastic. Knowledgeable, encouraging, motivating and humorous. I genuinely believe Moriah is helping me and will be largely responsible for my recovery:)

I.Z.·Oct 2020

I loved working with Moriah. She's insightful, encouraging and direct in the best way, able to pinpoint thought patterns and beliefs about myself that I didn't even know I had, also she will challenge your thinking! I really recommend her, I think she could be a good fit for anyone!

L.I.·Sep 2020

I appreciate everything she does for me.

J.O.·Aug 2020

It was my first time having counselling, so I wasn't really sure about what to expect. I shouldn't have been worried as Moriah made me feel at ease within the first 10 seconds of our first video call. Not only is she friendly, easy to open up too and someone who you can have a laugh with, but she was so wise, full of incredible advice and has an awesome holistic approach. I am so grateful for her guidance and would recommend Moriah and BetterHelp to everyone.

J.O.·Jul 2020

I absolutely LOVE Moriah! She’s made my first experience of counselling really great. I love her spiritual outlook and her ‘comic relief’ approach. She makes me feel at ease and I feel completely able to talk openly with her about whatever’s going on.

S.A.·Jun 2020

Very responsive and perceptive reflections to offer collaborative, empowering approach.

C.A.·Jun 2020

Moriah been amazing and very knowledgeable. She is always listening to everything I have and always has a rational answer that breaks down how I feel and makes me feel good about it.

R.A.·Apr 2020

Moriah listens extremely well and makes astute observations that I have been unable to see myself. She really helps me process things and helps me see things in a very positive light.

J.E.·Apr 2020

She's great! When we had our first voice chat she made me feel at ease and I felt comfortable opening up to her. It's great to have counseling where I feel comfortable talking about anything and feeling listened to.

K.R.·Mar 2020

Moriah is respectful and a great listener. I’ve been to counselling before but I feel like Moriah has understood my perspective the best. We all have someone who understands us the best so I’m really lucky that I found Moriah at a painful time in my life.
