Dr. Teresa Moore, LCSW, CSW

Dr. Teresa Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She speaks plainly and works to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to provide steady support during that process.

With 20 years of practice, Dr. Moore adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. She listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people set small, doable goals. Sessions often focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and ways to manage intense feelings when they arise.

Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings in Rhode Island, where she developed experience with trauma, panic, mood disorders, and issues tied to life transitions. That experience informs how she supports people navigating loss, chronic health struggles, or relationship and financial stress.

People bring many different concerns to therapy, including midlife questions and struggles with isolation. In sessions Dr. Moore helps people sort priorities, weigh options, and practice new ways of coping. The approach emphasizes steady, concrete progress rather than quick fixes.

She holds the LCSW and CSW credentials. Conversations are tailored to each person’s goals and pace, with room for both practical problem solving and deeper personal work as needed.

Approaches and how online therapy can fit your life

Dr. Moore uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she applies emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic; clients practice breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce intense reactions. Another approach centers on working through grief and loss by creating space to name feelings, remember what matters, and plan manageable next steps to rebuild routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans when something is not working. This helps make sure the work fits the person’s needs, pace, and priorities rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate that remote sessions let them check in from a quieter spot, schedule shorter follow-ups when needed, or keep regular weekly meetings without commuting.
