Sederia Moore

Sederia Moore, LCSW, uses a client-centered approach to help people manage life stress and big transitions. She focuses on clear, workable steps so clients can feel steadier. Her style is gentle and direct, with attention to identity and lived experience.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful feelings without getting stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer straightforward tools for managing intense emotion and improving daily coping.

Moore has ten years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions. She also helps with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and ADHD. Her work includes attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems that often underlie repeated conflict.

Her practice pays attention to LGBT experiences and the ways culture shapes mental health. She aims to create an affirming space where identity is respected and explored at each person’s pace. This includes attention to guilt, shame, and family of origin themes that come up in therapy.

Sessions focus on identifying small, practical changes that add up over time. Clients often work on clearer boundaries, better emotion regulation, and ways to reconnect with personal values. Moore supports people through coping with life changes and finding steadier footing for the next chapter.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce worry and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches suit issues like stress, relationship strain, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, current struggles, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or a mix will best support the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule. It can also let people use skills learned in therapy in the same environment where challenges happen. Ask about scheduling norms and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire to find a plan that matches your daily routine.
