Brenda Roberts Moosa, LPC

Brenda Roberts Moosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She welcomes people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or major life changes. Brenda also supports people affected by trauma and abuse and those questioning or navigating LGBT issues. Her manner is warm, respectful, and honest, and she aims to meet people where they are.

Brenda uses a client-focused way of working that centers the person’s goals. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns from a person’s past. She also uses solution-focused strategies to build practical steps and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when intense emotions make daily life hard.

Sessions are conversational but purposeful. Brenda listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps clients try new ways of coping. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and codependency while supporting people through divorce, adoption and foster care concerns, or caregiver stress.

Her approach often includes mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety and ground people when they feel overwhelmed. She avoids labels and focuses on what matters to each person. The plan is shaped together, with concrete goals and steps to try between sessions.

Brenda encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and take the first step. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness. If someone is looking for steady support while dealing with loss, identity questions, or trauma-related symptoms, she offers an experienced, compassionate presence.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client’s priorities and build a plan from those goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling distress. Those skills are often presented as step-by-step techniques to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple breathing and awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and ease anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brenda will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are available, please confirm current options before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills in everyday life, such as brief check-ins, guided mindfulness, or reviewing DBT exercises between meetings.
