Atiya Moore

Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and career concerns. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about depression, addictions, self-esteem, grief, parenting strains, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. Her style is direct and practical, and she invites people who are ready to make changes to take the next step.

Her approach blends several practical methods. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior skills are used to spot unhelpful patterns and build better coping strategies. She also draws on client-centered listening, mindfulness, and somatic ideas to help people notice how feelings show up in the body.

Atiya has worked across behavioral health settings for two decades. That background includes supporting people with chronic or multigenerational trauma and with sexual health recovery. She often focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, and family of origin concerns. She also helps people dealing with fatherhood questions and blended family stress.

She describes her work as collaborative and flexible. Beyond standard therapies, she sometimes explores nontraditional options like energy management and therapeutic gardening when these fit a person’s goals. People can expect practical tools, clear goals, and steady support while they try new ways of coping.

Atiya offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her credential is LCSW-C in Maryland, and she combines clinical methods with life-coaching elements for career and coping transitions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking meaningful action. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to identify values, set goals, and practice small steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; it translates well to remote work through structured homework, thought records, and real-time skill rehearsal. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal choices, which can be taught and practiced across sessions.

Finding the right approach is often part of the first few meetings. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single model. That means techniques may shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate, and support work with exercises or homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide how these approaches are adapted to each person’s everyday life and goals.
