About Ada
Ada Moritz-Chapelliquen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage anger and other intense emotions. She draws on five years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support. Ada talks in plain terms and works with each person to set clear, doable goals.
She uses a client-centered approach that centers the person's experience. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at their pace.
Background and approach
Ada also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment to new habits. Her background includes work in New York in shelter and hospital settings, which shaped her ability to work with people during major life transitions. Those experiences informed her focus on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief.
Ada listens for patterns that contribute to repeated reactions and helps people try different ways to respond. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Ada helps people break down problems into small steps, practice new skills, and track progress between meetings.
She explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as needed. People often seek her out for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures, coping with life changes, and managing anger. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Ada welcomes questions and helps people decide what to try first.

Approaches Ada lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches and online options for practical change
Ada uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the person’s lead to build trust and clear priorities. This approach helps when someone wants support that respects their choices and timing.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. That method uses open questions and reflective listening to boost commitment. It can be useful for anger, habit change, and situations where motivation feels mixed or stuck.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ada will discuss different options and work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust strategies as things evolve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, sharing thoughts between sessions, or trying a session without being on camera. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
