Stefanie Moreno

Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a long career in behavioral health across public and private settings. Stefanie works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and issues around sleep, eating, and substance use.

Her background includes work in group homes, psychiatric facilities, and private practice. Stefanie's training and practice reflect trauma-informed care and evidence-based methods that help people manage intense emotions and day-to-day demands. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills for coping and emotional regulation.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear goals. Stefanie uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to help people build lasting habits and stay engaged in change. She also incorporates relationship-focused tools from Imago work when communication and connection are a concern.

People often come to her for help with parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiver strain, or the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. She also supports those navigating mood disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and compassion fatigue.

Stefanie takes a whole-person view, noticing how emotions, body experiences, and daily routines interact. She aims to make sessions practical, with strategies people can try between meetings. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a first session.

How certain approaches can work well online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Online sessions can use CBT to build step-by-step plans for anxiety, panic, sleep, or mood problems and to review homework between meetings.

DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. In remote sessions Stefanie can teach DBT skills, practice them together, and help clients apply those tools in stressful moments of daily life.

Imago Relationship Therapy looks at communication patterns between partners and teaches structured dialogues to increase understanding. When relationship or communication problems are the focus, this approach helps people notice interaction habits and try new strategies.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Stefanie will discuss each option and work with the person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach hands-on skills and follow progress between meetings, while tailoring pacing to daily life demands.
