About Stefanie

Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with a decade of clinical experience. She has focused her career on helping people process traumatic events, manage intense emotions, and meet the everyday demands that can feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

Her background spans behavioral health and human services in both public and personal settings, including group homes, psychiatric facilities, and independent practice. Moreno blends evidence-informed techniques with a holistic perspective that attends to the mind, body, and spirit.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside mindfulness and motivational approaches, to tailor care to each person’s needs. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and mood-related conditions.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, practical coping strategies, and attention to relational patterns that influence wellbeing.

Practical approaches for online emotional work

Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts evidence-informed techniques to each person's situation and preferences, balancing skill-building with exploration of underlying patterns.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual concerns.
