About Sederia

Sederia Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies that help people manage symptoms and build coping skills.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to address worry, mood difficulties, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and other complex emotional issues. With ten years of experience, she focuses on helping clients move through life changes, grief, and identity-related challenges while fostering clearer thinking and healthier patterns of behavior.

Moore creates an affirming, culturally responsive therapeutic space where clients explore strengths and values alongside areas they want to change. Her practice pays particular attention to problems like anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, substance use, intimacy and attachment concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving or serious illness.

She uses practical skill-building, reflective inquiry, and collaborative problem solving to support clients in reducing distress and increasing resilience. Licensed as an LCSW in Texas (TX LCSW 66008) and California (CA LCSW 82480), she sees clients based in Maryland and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity by teaching practical strategies and structured exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed in close relationships to improve intimacy, communication, and responses to conflict or attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to consider goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, adjusting techniques over time so the methods feel useful and relevant to the person's life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats support ongoing skill practice between sessions and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapies, check progress, and tailor interventions in ways that suit each client's day-to-day needs.
