About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her practice also addresses addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Moore works with people who have experienced long-term or intergenerational trauma and with those who struggle with self-doubt, self-sabotage, or a pattern of victim thinking. She supports people in addressing family-related problems, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment difficulties. The focus is on concrete steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-driven actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when safety and emotional connection need attention.
Sessions may include mindfulness and meditation practices, motivational interviewing, somatic work, and practical exercises that can be used between meetings. She is open to exploring nontraditional supports such as energy management and therapeutic gardening when those options fit a person’s goals.
Atiya draws on two decades of work across behavioral health settings to shape sessions that focus on realistic change. She sees English-speaking adults and accepts international clients. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take committed actions toward those values. Online ACT work often involves noticing thoughts and practicing small value-driven steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing new behaviors. In an online setting CBT usually pairs discussion with simple exercises and homework to build different habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine ACT, CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, or emotionally-focused elements as appropriate. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or sessions when travel would be difficult. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional in Maryland from another location and to continue regular meetings while managing everyday responsibilities.
