About Chenda

Dr. Chenda Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and family concerns. She speaks English and Central Khmer and uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people cope with life changes.

She brings seven years of counseling experience alongside a long career in education. Her background aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful for daily life. Dr.

Moore earned a master’s degree in counseling and also holds a doctorate in educational leadership.

Background and approach

She worked for 29 years in schools as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator. That history informs her approach to common problems at home and work. Her life experience includes surviving a genocide and growing up in an Asian family, which shapes how she understands trauma and cultural concerns.

In sessions she focuses on what a person needs right now. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person’s priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and concrete steps. Work with Dr. Moore often centers on everyday challenges like parenting, communication problems, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and coping with loss.

She also addresses more complex issues such as addiction, trauma, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is respectful and direct.

Conversations move at a pace the client prefers. She encourages small, manageable changes that improve daily functioning and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Moore uses a few straightforward approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical tools to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable goals and steps that produce quick, tangible improvements.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, more flexible check-ins between sessions. These options support consistent contact and practical work on parenting, family topics, stress, and daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
