Stefanie Moreno, LCSW

Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or facing relationship and family struggles. Stefanie also works with people managing trauma, grief, mood changes, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her work history spans behavioral health, human services, group homes, psychiatric settings, and independent practice. That mix gives her experience with both short-term crisis needs and longer-term therapy. She draws on several practical approaches to match the person and the problem.

In sessions Stefanie aims for straightforward, skill-based work. She helps people notice patterns, learn new coping skills, and practice changes that fit daily life. She pays attention to emotions, behavior, and how relationships shape problems like codependency, communication breakdowns, or blended-family stress.

Stefanie uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide work. These approaches offer tools for managing panic, improving communication, and stabilizing mood swings. She also addresses body image, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Stefanie invites people to set practical goals and try small changes between sessions. To begin, readers should use the continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on improving communication between partners by helping people understand each other's emotional experience and practice new, respectful interaction patterns. It can help with recurring arguments, intimacy concerns, and rebuilding connection.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and many daily stressors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and needs and will suggest methods that fit those priorities. Decisions about techniques and pacing are collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, role plays, and skill practice to remote sessions so clients can apply new tools in everyday life.
