Dr. Chenda Moore, LPC

Dr. Chenda Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. She supports people dealing with issues like addiction, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and challenges tied to parenting, work, or health. She speaks English and Central Khmer and brings seven years of counseling experience to her work.

Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and a doctorate in educational leadership. Before focusing on counseling she spent 29 years in education as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator. Those roles shaped how she listens and how she helps people set practical goals for change.

In sessions she centers each person’s unique needs. She pays attention to how relationships with family, friends, and coworkers affect mood and daily functioning. She aims to help people notice what is not working and try different, small steps toward feeling more fulfilled.

Dr. Moore draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused techniques to build concrete plans and short-term goals. The result is a mix of reflective listening and practical problem solving.

She also brings lived experience as a survivor of genocide and as someone who grew up in an Asian family, which informs her understanding of cultural and intergenerational stress. People who choose to work with her typically want clear steps they can use between sessions to improve mood and daily routines.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person decide what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to improve mood and daily routines. CBT ideas can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and stress management.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Sessions emphasize concrete goals and steps to move toward those goals. This approach often appeals to people who want quick, practical tools they can use between meetings.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides what is tried in sessions and how progress is tracked.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone skip travel time. Licensed professionals help clients adapt tools and routines so therapy fits everyday life without promising a particular format.
