About Brenda
Brenda Roberts Moosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity and trauma. She also supports people navigating life changes, compassion fatigue, and questions that trace back to the family they grew up in.
Brenda takes a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She offers a mix of client-centered work and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice the patterns that repeat from childhood. Sessions include practical coping skills and space to talk through difficult feelings. She uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions.
Her approach often begins with identifying what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She helps clients clarify short-term goals and small steps they can try between meetings. When appropriate, she focuses on communication skills, boundaries, and ways to reduce daily stress.
Brenda also addresses specific life situations like adoption and foster care, abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. She works with people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of separation or divorce.
She practices a respectful and direct manner, asking questions and offering feedback during sessions. Prospective clients who want to explore patterns from their family of origin will find conversations that stay focused on real-life choices and changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. It helps people name priorities and decide what changes to try next. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, useful when stress or anxiety feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brenda will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as things evolve.

Many people find online sessions fit into busy lives by cutting travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use online work to offer regular meetings and skills practice while helping clients apply what they learn in day-to-day situations.
