Dr. Chenda Moore, LPC

Dr. Chenda Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She speaks English and Central Khmer and draws on seven years of counseling experience plus a long background in education to support practical change.

Her work aims to identify what feels unmanageable and then set small, concrete steps forward. Sessions focus on what a person wants to improve, from sleep and eating concerns to coping with grief or changes at work. She uses clear techniques to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so daily life becomes more livable.

Before becoming an LPC she spent many years in schools as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator. That experience shaped her interest in helping people find realistic solutions they can use between sessions. She also holds a doctorate in educational leadership, which informs her organized, goal-oriented approach.

Dr. Moore understands cultural and life disruption firsthand as a survivor of genocide who grew up in an Asian family. That life perspective influences how she listens for meaning, identity, and past losses that still affect daily functioning. She pays attention to family background and attachment issues when those are important to the person sitting across from her.

In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods. The work is collaborative - she helps set priorities, test small changes, and track progress so people can see what is working. Her aim is to help people move toward a more authentic and satisfying life.

How her approaches work online and in real life

Dr. Moore uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy is also a part of her work, which means sessions begin with listening to the individual's experience and priorities so goals reflect what matters most. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term, concrete steps so progress is visible and manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way sessions stay focused on practical changes rather than vague goals alone.

Online therapy here can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days.
