About Sederia

Sederia Moore is an LCSW who offers steady, practical support for people facing depression, anxiety, and major life stress. She creates an affirming space where clients can talk about their concerns and start building daily strategies that feel doable. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on small steps that add up over time.

Moore draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) features in her work when people want to make values-based choices despite painful feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills also appear for managing intensity and improving emotion regulation.

Her focus areas include depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes. Moore attends to attachment issues, codependency, body image, and caregiver stress as part of this broader work.

Over ten years of clinical experience inform her practical approach. She aims to help people find routines and tools that fit their daily life, not just ideas that sound good in a session. Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear, teachable skills.

Moore practices in Maryland and communicates in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live in line with their values even when difficult feelings are present. It teaches noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck, and then choosing actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and replacing them with more helpful alternatives. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotion responses, and it helps people build healthier ways of relating and trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That process is collaborative, with opportunities to adjust methods if something does not fit or produce results the client wants.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling around work or caregiving. It can reduce travel time and let people use shorter check-ins when needed. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can tailor the approaches above to focus on daily tools, emotion regulation, values-based action, or changing thought patterns depending on what a client needs.
