About Warren

Dr. Warren Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of practice in North Carolina. He has focused his work on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, and depression.

He also addresses issues related to parenting, relationships, grief, intimacy, and LGBT concerns. Dr. Moore brings a calm, direct approach that aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Background and approach

In sessions he creates space for people to say what they are feeling and thinking without judgment. He listens closely and helps people name problems clearly. From there he works with each person to set small, practical goals and build steps that fit day-to-day life.

Dr. Moore draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clarify values and motivate change. He also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and from emotionally-focused work when relationships are central to the concern.

Parents or caregivers who contact him can expect plain talk about managing stress, setting boundaries, and handling changes that affect family life. He also has experience with adoption and foster care questions, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues that stem from prejudice and multicultural stressors.

He works in English and practices under the North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, NC LCSW C005182. Starting therapy can feel brave, and he aims to make each step understandable and practical.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new concerns arise, and the plan will be adjusted together.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and caretaking responsibilities. These formats let people connect from home, follow up between sessions, and use different ways of communicating as comfort and need dictate. Licensed professionals adapt the same therapeutic tools used in person to work effectively through these remote formats, helping clients apply skills in real life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
