About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinician based in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She holds an MD and is an LCSW-C, and brings two decades of experience in behavioral health to sessions. Her approach is practical and grounded, geared toward people who want change that fits real life.
She works with people who have experienced long-term or multi-generational trauma and those coping with relationship strain, grief, addiction, or low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports concerns around intimacy, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She helps parents navigate parenting stresses without assuming a one-size-fits-all answer. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps.
She uses mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices alongside talk therapy to help people notice what gets in the way of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to build coping skills and manage mood and behavior. She balances evidence-based strategies with creative options like energy management and therapeutic gardening when those fit a person’s needs.
Motivational interviewing techniques help people find their own reasons to change and stay motivated. The work is collaborative - clients set priorities and progress is tracked together. Atiya’s style is direct and compassionate.
She aims to make therapy understandable and useful for busy people. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to suit different schedules.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. Online ACT sessions can guide someone toward meaningful changes while teaching strategies to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments, which works well over video or phone for homework review and skill practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional patterns in relationships, useful for anyone wanting clearer communication and stronger emotional connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then recommends methods that fit those goals. That plan can change as progress is made, and techniques are adjusted to match how a person responds.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make regular work easier to fit into busy lives. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick problem-solving, homework check-ins, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to use alongside everyday routines.
