Dr. Moore focuses on helping clients set clear goals and make steady progress across sessions. She uses narrative ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools and mindfulness skills are introduced when clients want to tolerate hard feelings and act on personal values.

This variety has shaped a flexible approach that suits people facing trauma, grief, parenting stress, or career transitions. Dr. Moore pays attention to daily routines like sleep and coping skills that affect mood and functioning.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. She listens carefully, offers reflective feedback, and helps clients build small experiments between sessions to test what changes are helpful. Progress is tracked by goals the client helps set.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT work online
Dr. Moore draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how problems get defined and opens up new ways to describe strengths and identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching simple mindfulness and values-based steps.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in the first sessions. Together they decide whether Narrative ideas, ACT tools, or other methods will fit best and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues in-session. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or steady support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on real-life change.
