About Ada

Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Ada uses a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and priorities, then helps clients set achievable steps toward change.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing is part of her style when people are unsure about next steps or need help finding motivation. Her background includes work in foster care settings, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of situations and challenged her to be practical and direct when safety or basic needs are at stake.

That experience informs how she responds to crisis, grief, and severe stress. In sessions she aims to be warm and straightforward. Conversations often focus on immediate concerns like mood, relationships, parenting challenges, and coping with big transitions.

Practical tools and small behavior changes are used alongside deeper talk about meaning and values. People who choose her can expect clear goals and gentle accountability. Ada will collaborate on a plan that fits daily life and adjust strategies as needs change.

The work is paced to what the client can manage and built around real-world steps toward feeling better.

How client-centered and motivational methods work online

Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and values in the lead. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what matters most, helping clients clarify priorities and make choices that fit their lives. This approach is useful for mood, relationship stress, parenting worries, and navigating life changes.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. It focuses on gentle questions and small steps to build motivation and confidence. This style can help when someone wants to reduce unhealthy patterns or commit to new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to determine which methods match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are a team effort where the client’s feedback guides the pace and focus.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life transitions.
