About Stefanie
Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or big life changes. Stefanie focuses on practical ways to manage emotions so daily life feels more manageable.
She began her career in behavioral health across public and personal settings, including group homes and psychiatric facilities. That range of work shaped a straightforward style that blends talk therapy with skills practice.
Background and approach
Sessions often include hands-on tools to handle impulsivity, mood swings, and sleep or eating concerns. Stefanie uses approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She explains techniques in clear terms and helps clients try them between sessions.
The aim is to build coping skills that can be used in everyday moments. Many clients come for help with relationships, parenting stress, blended family issues, or caregiver strain. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, or mood and attention concerns.
Stefanie pays attention to how family of origin and communication patterns affect current problems. Her manner is direct but warm, and she works at a steady pace with practical goals. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Stefanie conducts sessions in English for people located in Virginia.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Stefanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT tools can help when impulsivity, mood swings, or relationship conflict are getting in the way.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Stefanie talks with each person about goals and preferences and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Together they pick strategies that fit the client’s daily life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face skill practice and role play. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or ongoing skill coaching between sessions.
