Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.

Angie Rosenberg

Therapist

Virtual • California


You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge. Maybe you feel like you’re always performing—for your team, your job, your family—and you’re tired of carrying it all.

I specialize in working with athletes and active adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing. Together, we create a space where you can finally breathe, feel grounded, and build emotional strength to match your physical drive.

My approach combines CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and solution-focused strategies through my signature T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. We’ll work together to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body, and build clarity and confidence from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel more present, powerful, and mentally strong, I’d be honored to support you.
