Sederia Moore, LCSW

Sederia Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who uses clear, practical therapy to help people manage stress and strong emotions. She draws on ten years of experience to offer steady support for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grieving, and LGBT-related challenges. Her style is warm and direct, focused on real-life strategies that people can try between sessions.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and attachment-focused work. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and explore how early relationships affect current patterns. Conversations are meant to be straightforward and useful, not full of jargon.

Sederia also uses client-centered and dialectical approaches when helpful. These methods guide her to listen closely and help people balance strong feelings with practical coping skills. She helps people who struggle with sleep, self-esteem, intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, and impulsivity.

Her background includes working with people facing life transitions such as divorce, caregiving strain, illness, and end-of-life concerns. She also supports those dealing with substance use, codependency, family of origin problems, and communication breakdowns. The focus is on small, achievable steps toward change.

Sederia is licensed in Texas and California as an LCSW and provides services to people located in Maryland. Sessions are offered in English and are structured to fit into busy schedules and changing life demands.

Approaches for online therapy and practical coping

Sederia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps people can practice between sessions to change how they think and act.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps clients accept difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful for stress, chronic worry, and coping with painful feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work to examine how early relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy, which helps when communication and trust are struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods over time. That means treatment can combine tools from different approaches to match the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy routines.
