Atiya Moore, LCSW-C

Atiya Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and challenges like addiction or ADHD. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, career shifts, and intimacy or self-esteem concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She uses mindfulness and breathing practices alongside talk work to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Atiya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose manageable actions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on relationship patterns and attachment issues.

She has experience with chronic and multi-generational trauma and supports people addressing victim mentality, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that can stall progress. Atiya will sometimes include somatic techniques, motivational interviewing, and creative options such as therapeutic gardening or energy management when appropriate.

Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than long lectures. People who want clear tools for handling anger, frustration at work, or built-up resentment often find this direct style useful. Anyone considering work on emotional reactivity can start by completing the intake steps and scheduling an initial meeting.
