About Chenda
Dr. Chenda Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for parents and adults facing stress and life transitions. She speaks English and Central Khmer and draws on seven years of counseling experience plus a long career in education to support clients seeking clearer coping strategies.
Moore’s background includes roles as a teacher, school counselor, and school administrator. She also holds a doctorate in educational leadership and a master’s degree in counseling.
Background and approach
That mix of school-based experience and clinical work shapes how she approaches everyday problems related to relationships, work, and family life. In sessions she centers each person’s needs. Conversations aim to identify what matters most to the client, then try small, concrete steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She uses straightforward methods to address anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Parents can expect help with common parenting stressors, blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and coping when role demands feel overwhelming. Moore also helps with career stress, caregiver strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and adjustment after loss or trauma.
Her style is collaborative and solution-minded. She works with clients to set short-term goals and track small changes over time. People who want a counselor who listens, validates cultural background, and focuses on practical next steps may find her approach helpful.

Approaches and online therapy that fit family life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and responding with empathy so clients feel heard and respected. It helps when someone needs space to sort values, parenting choices, or emotional reactions without judgment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and routines. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and habits that get in the way of parenting or work.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and on what already works for a client. Sessions often set one or two small goals to try between meetings, which can build momentum quickly for people juggling busy family schedules.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and personal style, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text messaging for brief updates or coaching. These options let people fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, and school runs while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
