Dr. Warren Moore, LCSW

Dr. Warren Moore is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. He brings 21 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address trauma. He communicates plainly and meets people where they are in their day-to-day lives.

In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named. He encourages small, doable steps so progress feels manageable instead of overwhelming. He helps people build tools for anger, confidence, and coping with life changes.

Dr. Moore uses approaches that emphasize thinking patterns, values, and emotion skills. That means people often work on noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and clarifying what matters most to them. He also draws on emotion-focused work to help people understand and express difficult feelings.

Clients commonly address depression, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, and issues related to identity and discrimination. He also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. He is experienced with challenges that affect veterans and those facing multicultural stressors.

His style is collaborative and steady. He invites questions and adapts pace to each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he encourages people to reach out when they are ready.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. Moore commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes figuring out personal values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-centered work centers the conversation on the persons experience, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client.

He sees finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions are used to learn a person's goals and preferences, and then the therapist and client decide together which methods to emphasize. The plan can change as needs and goals evolve over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit care into busy routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
