About Atiya Moore
Atiya Moore brings 20 years of experience to her work as a licensed clinician in Maryland. She holds an MD and is an LCSW-C - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and has spent two decades working across a range of behavioral health settings. Her practice centers on trauma recovery and the complex effects of historical, multi-generational, community, and interpersonal trauma, and she supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.
She helps individuals move beyond patterns of victim mentality, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that can stall personal growth. Her approach combines evidence-informed therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness and meditation practices, motivational interviewing, and somatic techniques. She is also willing to explore nontraditional supports like energy management and therapeutic gardening when they fit a person’s needs.
Atiya works with adults facing issues related to attachment, family dynamics, adoption and foster care, codependency, parenting and fatherhood concerns, intimacy and commitment difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She practices in English and works with international clients, focusing on collaborative, person-centered care that addresses both symptoms and underlying life patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it a good fit for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulse challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Atiya collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and strengths. She tailors interventions over time and incorporates a mix of modalities when that serves the client’s progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - from video calls and phone sessions to live chat and text-based messaging - so people can receive consistent support around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make therapy more accessible and easier to integrate into everyday life while preserving a collaborative, focused therapeutic process.
