Dr. Teresa Moore

Compassionate clinical social work for complex challenges

About Teresa

Dr. Teresa Moore offers care for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical practice, she centers each person’s unique situation and works collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that fits individual needs. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients navigate difficult emotions and life transitions.

Licensed in Rhode Island as an LCSW and CSW, Dr. Moore brings 20 years of experience to issues that include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, chronic illness and pain, relationship separations, and questions about life purpose and sexuality.

She adapts the pace and focus of therapy to match what a client needs in the moment, supporting practical coping strategies alongside exploration of deeper patterns. For people seeking steadier emotional balance or help after loss or trauma, she provides a steady, thoughtful presence throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Dr. Moore uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and emotional processing. One common approach helps clients learn skills to manage anxiety and panic through step-by-step coping strategies and breathing or grounding techniques that reduce acute distress. Another method emphasizes trauma-informed processing to address the effects of abuse or loss, guiding clients through safe exploration of painful memories while building resilience and stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure methods are relevant and feel manageable for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from Rhode Island and to continue steady care even when in-person visits are impractical.
