Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Atiya Moore draws from practical, skills-focused methods that can translate well to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while reconnecting with values and taking steps that align with the life they want. It can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, trauma impacts, or self-doubt start to steer decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, then practicing more balanced alternatives. It is often used to support concerns like depression, anxiety, and day-to-day coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Atiya Moore collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the therapy style and tools accordingly.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to get support within a busy schedule and to stay connected between sessions.
