Atiya Moore

Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate big life shifts. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or parenting strain.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and client-centered conversation. Sessions include checking what’s getting in the way now and practicing small skills that make daily life easier.

Atiya has worked across many behavioral health settings in Maryland. That background informs a flexible style that draws on both traditional therapy techniques and unconventional supports like therapeutic gardening and energy management. She describes therapy as collaborative work toward meaningful change.

People who come to her often want to move past self-doubt, stop self-sabotage, and get unstuck after trauma or repeated setbacks. She helps identify patterns that hold people back and builds step-by-step plans to try different ways of coping.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange scheduling based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what methods fit a person's goals and daily routine, and may blend approaches as needs change. Clients and the therapist set priorities together and adapt techniques over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone join a session when in the same time zone but away from Maryland. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively through remote conversation and skill practice, helping clients build new habits between sessions.
