Atiya Moore, LCSW-C

Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and trauma. She works with adults who want to move past patterns like self-doubt, self-sabotage, or a victim mindset. Her approach is direct and practical, focused on clear steps toward change.

She draws from a mix of approaches to fit each person. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. She also uses mindfulness, somatic practices, motivational interviewing, and occasionally nontraditional activities like therapeutic gardening or energy management.

Sessions are collaborative. The therapist helps clients set realistic goals and practices they can use between meetings. Expect skill-building, guided exercises, and conversations about how past experiences shape present choices. The work is paced to each person’s needs.

Atiya has broad experience across behavioral health settings and has supported people through trauma recovery, sexual health recovery, and long-standing emotional difficulties. She also addresses concerns such as parenting strain, grief, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around intimacy and communication.

She holds LCSW-C, which is a Maryland clinical social work license. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist timing.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using digital tools and between-session exercises to practice skills learned in sessions.
