About Stefanie
Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She brings a decade of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and everyday challenges. Stefanie aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk through difficult moments and make practical changes.
She has worked across public and private behavioral health settings, group homes, psychiatric facilities, and private practice. That background informs a practical style that combines emotional support with real skills for coping. Sessions often focus on emotion regulation, processing traumatic events, and handling daily responsibilities more easily.
Clients can expect a blend of approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational techniques. Stefanie also uses relationship-focused ideas from Imago work when appropriate. She emphasizes simple exercises people can try between sessions to build momentum and reduce distress.
Stefanie often helps people facing family conflict, parenting stress, mood concerns, addiction-related issues, and problems with sleep, eating, or self-esteem. Codependency and communication problems are included among her focus areas. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to practical outcomes.
She holds a Master of Social Work and the LCSW credential in Virginia. Stefanie looks for a team effort with each person - setting clear goals, tracking progress, and adjusting strategies as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for managing mood symptoms. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with strong emotions or impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals and needs. That might mean using CBT homework one week, and DBT skills coaching the next. The plan is flexible and guided by what helps most in daily life.
Confirm the available session formats before scheduling since the biography did not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness and homework exercises in the moments they arise during everyday life, so skills are practiced where they matter most.
