About Ada
Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with five years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anger, and major life changes.
Before moving into private practice work, Ada spent time in foster care services, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital setting. That work involved helping people with mood concerns and serious mental health conditions as well as developmental disabilities. Her on-the-ground experience shaped how she approaches day-to-day problem solving and crisis moments.
Ada favors a client-centered way of working. She listens first, then helps people name what matters and set practical steps forward. She often uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build small, workable plans.
Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday life changes. Conversations cover concrete coping skills, communication around relationships, managing strong feelings, and planning for transitions such as new responsibilities or losses. Ada keeps language plain and practical so people can act on what they talk about between sessions.
People who choose Ada can expect a steady, straightforward approach that links past experiences to current choices. Her background in systems work also means she looks at how institutions and living situations affect a person's options and stress levels. To begin, clients are invited to complete the platform questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
BHow sessions work
How Ada’s approaches translate to online sessions
Ada practices client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person's priorities and current concerns, with the clinician following the client's lead to identify goals. Motivational interviewing is about helping people find their own reasons for change and building small, realistic steps toward those changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ada will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, history, and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize goal-setting, skill practice, or reflective conversation in early sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between meetings. Because the platform and formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep scheduled check-ins, try shorter problem-focused meetings, or avoid travel time, which can help maintain consistency with therapy.
