About Atiya

Atiya Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting challenges, and work-related strain. She also supports those coping with grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice focuses on helping people who carry long-standing or multi-generational trauma. She works with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, self-sabotage, abandonment wounds, attachment questions, codependency, and family of origin problems. Her approach is practical and action-oriented rather than abstract.

Atiya integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and somatic or movement-based tools. She may also explore creative options such as therapeutic gardening or energy management when appropriate.

Her style emphasizes clear communication and steady pacing. She helps people name emotional patterns, practice new responses, and try concrete strategies between sessions. The work often involves recognizing relationship or attachment patterns that keep problems repeating.

People who pick her typically want both emotional insight and practical tools. To begin, prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit so goals and next steps can be discussed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Atiya commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name hard-to-reach emotions and the interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. EFT focuses on feelings and attachment-related responses, often useful for resolving relationship and intimacy concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it is practical for anxiety, stress, and life changes.

She combines these approaches with client-centered listening and CBT or DBT skills to build new day-to-day strategies. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which approaches to prioritize, making adjustments as needs change.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use mindfulness or somatic practices in familiar surroundings and can accommodate international scheduling across time zones.
