About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinician who brings two decades of behavioral health experience to her practice in Maryland. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, self-esteem concerns, career struggles, ADHD, and a wide range of intimacy and family-related issues.
Background and approach
Her background includes extensive work with individuals impacted by chronic, intergenerational, community, or interpersonal trauma and with those navigating recovery from sexual health concerns. Her approach blends practical, skills-based strategies with compassionate exploration.
Atiya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused and client-centered methods, tailoring interventions to each person's needs. She integrates mindfulness, somatic techniques, motivational interviewing, and occasionally unconventional tools such as energy management or therapeutic gardening when appropriate.
Atiya frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at reducing self-doubt, addressing victim mentality, and overcoming self-sabotage that can impede growth. She supports clients who are ready to engage in personal work and seeks to create a space where goals are clarified and concrete steps toward change are developed.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Atiya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-driven action and to increase psychological flexibility when clients face difficult emotions and life transitions. Client-centered therapy informs her stance, emphasizing empathy and collaboration so that each person feels heard as goals and interventions are developed.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts strategies over time rather than prescribing a single pathway. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what the client finds most useful and sustainable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These formats make it possible to continue regular care around work, family, or travel commitments while maintaining consistent therapeutic progress with licensed professionals.
