About Sederia
Sederia Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. She works in Maryland and brings a direct but compassionate style to sessions. Her approach centers on listening first and then helping people find practical steps forward.
Sederia uses Narrative therapy to help people rewrite painful stories about themselves. She pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and action, and with attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are part of the problem.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so progress is clear. People come for help with depression, bipolar symptoms, sleeping problems, anger, impulse control, and low self-esteem. She also addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to substance use.
Sederia supports those dealing with LGBTQ issues, family of origin wounds, and major life changes like separation or loss. Work in the room often includes examining harmful self-beliefs, building skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing small behavior changes between sessions. She offers tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to make those steps feel achievable.
Sederia aims to create an affirming space that respects identity and lived experience. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and tracks progress together. If someone wants straightforward guidance and practical coping plans, her blend of narrative and evidence-informed techniques can be a good fit.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online care and taking action
Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves to open up new ways of living. Narrative work can be useful for identity questions, family of origin wounds, and shifting patterns that no longer serve someone.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on meaningful action rather than symptom elimination. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people practice new ways of relating when intimacy or trust is a struggle.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try a few ways of working, and adjust methods based on your needs and goals. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape the direction of therapy so methods stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for conversation and exercises that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Chat and text work well for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or continuing progress when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
