About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She supports individuals dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and addiction. She also works with concerns like self-esteem, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is direct and practical. She uses everyday language and simple exercises users can try between sessions. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit into busy lives.
Background and approach
She blends talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based ideas when helpful. Atiya draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and shift toward chosen values. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s experience, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy for close relationship work.
Her background includes two decades in behavioral health across clinical settings. She has experience supporting people who have lived with multi-generational, community, or interpersonal trauma. That experience informs practical strategies for reducing avoidance, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding day-to-day routines.
Atiya works from Maryland and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and combines evidence-informed methods with flexible, creative options such as mindfulness practice and somatic exercises. If somebody wants guided, steady support focused on real-life change, she helps them map the next steps.
Approaches that fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is a common approach for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with emotion regulation and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean starting with skills training, adding mindfulness practices, or shifting to emotionally focused conversation as the work develops.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are best for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief updates, and in-the-moment skills practice between sessions.
