About Ada
Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of practice. She offers a warm, empathetic presence and trusts clients to be the experts on their own lives. Ada focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes and grief.
She uses a client-centered approach that centers the person's goals and experiences. Motivational Interviewing is part of her style, helping people clarify what matters and find the motivation to make changes. Sessions aim to be conversational, respectful, and grounded in the client's values.
Her background includes work in foster care, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital. Those roles shaped practical skills in supporting people through trauma, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and serious mental health concerns. The experience also informs how she notices systems and environments that affect a person’s well-being.
Ada emphasizes collaboration. She helps people identify small, actionable steps and supports them through transitions and emotional upheaval. Conversations are paced to match what each person can manage.
If you want straightforward support for parenting stress, family tensions, anger, or coping after loss, Ada aims to offer steady guidance and real-world strategies. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How client-centered methods support online work
Ada uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. This approach helps when someone needs a space to feel heard, name what matters, and decide what to change. Motivational Interviewing complements that by helping people resolve mixed feelings and find motivation for concrete steps forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ada will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest ways to proceed. That collaborative conversation helps shape sessions so they fit personal needs and pace.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets a person continue support through relocations or during periods of change. Licensed professionals can adapt Client-Centered methods and Motivational Interviewing to remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical goals and manageable steps.
