About Stefanie
Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and family of origin issues. Stefanie also supports people managing mood disorders, addiction concerns, grief, and difficulties with sleep or eating.
Her background includes work across behavioral health and human services. She has experience in group homes, psychiatric settings, and private practice. That range informs a practical approach to everyday problems and crisis-related concerns.
In sessions Stefanie focuses on helping people process difficult events and learn ways to regulate strong emotions. She uses clear, skills-based methods to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Conversations are aimed at uncovering patterns that come from early family relationships and how those patterns affect current choices.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for mood and impulse control. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. Imago Relationship Therapy ideas are used when communication and connection are central concerns.
Stefanie’s work blends practical skill-building with longer-term thinking about family patterns. That combination is useful for people who need immediate tools and also want to understand where their responses began. She works in English and practices in Virginia as an LCSW.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving distress tolerance, useful for mood swings, anger, and impulsivity.She also applies Motivational Interviewing when someone is uncertain about change. That approach uses guided conversation to clarify goals and increase readiness to try new strategies. Together these approaches support both immediate skill building and exploration of longer-standing family patterns.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which approaches to emphasize as work progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from a quieter place or avoid camera use if that helps them engage better.
