About Atiya
Atiya Moore is an experienced clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, and related concerns.
Background and approach
She brings two decades of practice as an MD and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland, combining medical training with social work perspectives to support healing and practical change. Her style emphasizes collaboration and skill-building, guiding clients through approaches that reduce self-doubt, address patterns of self-sabotage, and restore agency after chronic or multi-generational trauma.
She integrates evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral work and dialectical strategies with mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices to address both emotional experience and everyday functioning. Atiya also uses motivational interviewing to help clients clarify values and move toward goals.
Open to creative, individualized care, she sometimes incorporates nontraditional elements like energy management and therapeutic gardening when these methods fit a person’s needs. Atiya welcomes clients ready to engage in personal work and focuses on practical tools and insight that support sustainable change.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth
Atiya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, helping people commit to meaningful changes even when discomfort remains.Finding the right fit among these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She approaches treatment collaboratively, exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and life context to decide whether CBT techniques, acceptance-based practices, mindfulness, or a blended approach will best support progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care across locations, and use tools like in-the-moment messaging or guided exercises between sessions to reinforce skills learned during meetings.
