About Brenda
Brenda Roberts Moosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship trouble, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues common to LGBT clients. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
She favors a straightforward, interactive style. Conversations are respectful and direct. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying concrete ways to cope day to day.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and psychodynamic ideas. That means Brenda listens for recurring themes in a person’s life while keeping the client’s goals at the center. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce distress.
Brenda brings solution-focused techniques when people need short-term, practical steps. She can help break down problems into manageable tasks and track what changes help. This can be useful for coping with life transitions, co-parenting stress, or the practicalities of merging households.
Her practice is aimed at adults who want clear, conversational therapy rather than long academic explanations. People who prefer an active, skills-oriented approach may find this style fits well. For those considering therapy, Brenda asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the work together.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-centered therapy places the client's concerns and goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set priorities for change. This approach works well for people who want someone to follow their lead and help them clarify what matters now.Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be practical when strong feelings, relationship push-pull, or ongoing stress make day-to-day life harder. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brenda will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening and reflection with practical skills training so sessions aim to be both thoughtful and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow calmer, quieter sessions without needing to be on camera for an entire visit.
