Stefanie Moreno, LCSW

Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Virginia. She has ten years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and the day-to-day demands of family life. Stefanie uses straightforward, practical methods so people can feel steadier and make clearer choices.

Stefanie’s background includes roles in behavioral health, group homes, psychiatric facilities, and private practice. She draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using the same method for everyone. Sessions often center on understanding thoughts and everyday habits that shape feelings and actions.

In the room she combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness skills and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits but feel stuck. Imago relationship ideas inform work around communication and connection.

Stefanie also addresses parenting, blended family concerns, grief, and caregiver stress. She helps people who struggle with eating-related issues, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with mood disorders, panic, OCD symptoms, and impulse challenges as part of broader care.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Stefanie aims to make therapy a place to practice small changes that add up. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching steps to schedule a session.

How Stefanie’s approaches translate to online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the habits that follow. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and behavior patterns tied to daily routines. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense feelings and relationship strain. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past patterns affect communication and helps people practice clearer, less reactive conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefanie aims to collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep momentum between sessions and to practice tools in day-to-day situations.
