About Sederia
Sederia Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience working with adults. She practices in Maryland and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency-related patterns.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice what gets in the way of healthier relationships and routines. Sessions focus on identifying patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying around another person's moods or substance use. Work may include clarifying personal values, learning skills for emotion regulation, and practicing clearer communication.
Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to change unhelpful thinking and increase psychological flexibility. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Dialectical behavior approaches offer concrete skills for distress tolerance and managing intense emotions.
Sederia pays attention to each person's life context and identity, including LGBT experiences and caregiving stress. She also offers support around parenting strain, sleep problems, impulsivity, and family of origin issues. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on steps a person can try between meetings.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, better self-regard, or ways to cope when a partner or family member is struggling. To start, she asks people about current challenges and what they most want to change, then maps an approach using the methods that fit best.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for codependency patterns when someone wants to act differently in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete exercises to change behaviors that cause distress. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, and unhelpful relationship habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and behavior in close relationships and can help when someone recognizes repeating patterns around closeness or distance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend the methods that fit best. Sessions are collaborative and may combine techniques as needs evolve.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them to real-life situations.
