About Stefanie
Stefanie Moreno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She brings a decade of clinical experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, trauma, mood struggles, and parenting challenges. Stefanie focuses on steady, practical care that helps people manage day-to-day demands alongside deeper emotional work.
She has worked across behavioral health settings in both public and personal sectors, including group homes, psychiatric facilities, and independent practice. That variety gave her experience with many types of concerns from trauma and PTSD to depression, anxiety, and grief.
Background and approach
Stefanie also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work and skills-based strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns. She draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Stefanie also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those tools fit a person’s goals. Parents who are juggling co-parenting, blended family dynamics, or the stress of new caregiving responsibilities often find her style practical and hands-on. She helps parents set realistic routines, communicate more clearly, and respond to conflict with fewer reactive moments.
Stefanie also addresses family-of-origin issues and communication problems that show up around parenting. Her background includes treating a wide range of concerns such as impulsivity, panic attacks, bipolar mood issues, and intimacy-related problems. Stefanie works in English and practices in Virginia as a LCSW.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Stefanie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practicing new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many everyday stressors.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy principles to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication repeatedly leads to conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefanie will talk with each person about their goals, life context, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or communicate in writing when that feels more comfortable. These options make therapy easier to fit around parenting, work, and day-to-day life.
