About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals who are navigating grief, career changes, parenting challenges, and identity concerns, including LGBT issues. Her style is direct and practical, with attention to both feelings and everyday habits.
She draws on a blend of approaches to meet people where they are. Sessions often include mindfulness and breathing practices, skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking, and emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts while committing to meaningful action. Atiya emphasizes hands-on strategies as well as exploration of life patterns. She pays attention to how family history, attachment, and past trauma shape current behavior.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and sometimes introduces somatic methods or therapeutic gardening when those fit a person’s goals. Her background includes work across behavioral health settings over more than 20 years. She holds an MD and is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland, LCSW-C.
That experience informs a flexible approach that balances practical tools with deeper emotional work. People who choose her often want clear skills to manage strong emotions like anger, and practical steps to break cycles of self-doubt and self-sabotage. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises to clarify values and practice small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT tools adapt well to video or messaging formats through worksheets and homework tasks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, life demands, and what methods feel most useful, then build a plan together. That plan can mix mindfulness, skills training, and reflective conversation so the client learns both immediate coping tools and longer-term patterns.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing processing and coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
