Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stefanie Moreno draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core tools in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, and can be especially useful for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment to treatment goals. Across approaches, Moreno works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Stefanie offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or handle caregiving and work demands. These options help clients maintain continuity of care and access timely support from licensed professionals without sacrificing convenience.
