About Atiya
Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and career or life transitions. She works in Maryland and brings 20 years of experience to her practice.
Atiya favors a practical, body-aware approach that invites people to notice how feelings live in the body.
Background and approach
She blends somatic work with talk-based methods so clients can both feel and think through their difficulties. Sessions aim to build skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Her style is collaborative and grounded.
Clients can expect clear, concrete tools such as mindfulness exercises, behavioral strategies, and emotion regulation skills. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to untangle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Atiya often incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
She also draws on client-centered principles, keeping the person’s perspective central to planning and goals. When useful, she explores nontraditional supports like energy management or therapeutic gardening as complementary tools. Her background includes two decades working across behavioral health settings with people recovering from long-term or intergenerational trauma.
The approach is practical and steady - focused on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
How somatic and practical approaches work online
Atiya uses Somatic work to help people notice how stress and emotions show up in the body. That can mean simple grounding exercises, breath and movement cues, or awareness practices that calm the nervous system. These techniques often pair well with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name their values and take small meaningful steps toward them even when feelings are hard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her toolkit and focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides straightforward strategies for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problems, while somatic practices help the body follow the changes the mind is making.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time to find what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to use short skills between sessions, check in more often, and fit therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals can guide somatic exercises and CBT or ACT work in these formats so people get practical tools they can use at home.
