Dr. Chenda Moore , LPC

Dr. Chenda Moore helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on practical steps that reduce stress, improve relationships, and restore a sense of direction. Dr. Moore communicates plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.

She trained as a counselor and holds a master’s degree in counseling. She also earned a doctorate in educational leadership and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Texas. Before becoming a full-time counselor she spent many years working in schools as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator. That background informs how she talks about family life, parenting challenges, and career stress.

Dr. Moore brings seven years of clinical counseling experience and a longer career supporting students and families. She draws on person-centered approaches that let clients lead the conversation and shape goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps.

Her work covers many common concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as body image, parenting strain, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions are conducted in English and Central Khmer.

People who contact her typically want straightforward guidance, a calm listening presence, and tools they can use between sessions. She aims to help clients make steady, practical changes toward a more balanced and authentic life.

How approach and online options work together

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to name what matters and choose goals that feel right. This approach is helpful for stress, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions often include planning one or two things to try between meetings to build momentum and confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, and then suggest an approach to try. That decision remains collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or busy days and to keep consistent contact between meetings.
