Stacy Mora , LPC

Stacy Mora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience working with clients across the lifespan. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Radford University (2003) and a Master of Science in Counseling from East Tennessee State University (2007). Her training includes formal instruction in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) beginning in 2014 and EMDRIA certification earned in 2020, a specialized approach often used for processing trauma and distressing memories.

Stacy is licensed to practice in Virginia and Arizona, and she grounds her work in a collaborative, client-centered stance that emphasizes dignity, respect, and practical support. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and EMDR to address concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting and attachment issues, self-esteem, relationship and family challenges, grief, and coping with life changes. Stacy also supports clients facing ADHD, workplace issues, first responder and veteran-related concerns, and other focus areas such as communication problems and codependency.

She regards a clientâs story as a meaningful lens on their experiences and seeks to help people identify strengths and resilience that may be hard to see from within. Stacy offers warm, practical guidance aimed at empowering clients to take steps toward more fulfilling and balanced lives while honoring each personâs goals and pace.

Online therapeutic approaches and what to expect

Stacy integrates several proven approaches into online work to meet a variety of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the clientâs goals and perspective guide the process, making it useful for relationship, self-esteem, and life transition concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients learn practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, often benefiting those with post-traumatic stress or complex trauma histories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting methods over time so treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow access from different locations, and make it easier to continue care through life changes. These options let therapists and clients focus on practical skills, processing, and emotional support in ways that fit modern life and individual needs.
