About Brenda
Brenda Roberts Moosa, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue and a range of family-origin and caregiving concerns.
Brenda uses a mix of client-centered techniques, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. She avoids labeling and aims for direct, respectful interaction.
Her approach balances exploring past patterns with present coping skills. That can include identifying unhelpful relationship patterns, developing emotion-regulation skills, and building problem-solving strategies. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help manage anxiety and overwhelm.
She also works with issues tied to adoption, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, aging concerns, autism spectrum considerations, and divorce or separation. These topics are addressed through discussion, skill practice, and pragmatic problem solving.
Brenda frames therapy as collaborative work. She and the person seeking help set goals and test what works. Practical tasks between sessions are used when helpful to track change and reinforce new skills.

How Brenda Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Brenda commonly draws on client-centered work and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on open, respectful conversation and helps people clarify what matters to them. DBT adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when stress or relationship conflict is present.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness practice typically involves brief exercises and attention skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity and strengthen coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person seeking help to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans may combine skill practice, problem-solving, and reflection based on what proves useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow skills practice to continue between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and DBT skills for remote work while focusing on practical steps and measurable progress.
