About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and concerns around self-esteem and relationships. She also supports clients dealing with grief, career strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and adoption and foster care related questions.
Atiya draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and real-world exercises that can be used between meetings. She uses mindfulness and meditation alongside cognitive tools to reduce anxious thinking and improve emotional regulation.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect a mix of talk, breathing and grounding practices, gentle body-awareness work, and problem-focused exercises. Conversations aim to reduce stuck patterns like self-doubt, self-sabotage, and a persistent victim mindset.
Atiya has worked across many behavioral health settings during her career. That experience informs a flexible style that blends behavioral strategies with emotion-focused work. She is willing to adapt nontraditional ideas when they fit the client's goals, such as therapeutic gardening and energy management exercises.
Sessions are oriented toward practical change. Atiya helps people clarify what matters, build coping skills, and take manageable steps forward. She invites people ready to do personal work to connect and plan next steps.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through simple exercises and homework. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like self-sabotage. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships and attachment; it can be helpful for improving intimacy and addressing attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first, adjusting plans based on goals and what feels most helpful. That ongoing conversation helps match techniques to the client rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from many locations. Practical benefits include shorter breaks between work tasks, easier scheduling across time zones, and fewer logistics when balancing parenting or appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm available options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format will be used.
