About Brenda
Brenda Roberts Moosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience as a therapist. She brings a calm, direct presence to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and loss. Her work also addresses relationship concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to LGBT identity and compassion fatigue.
Brenda uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in focus. She blends that with psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build practical skills for daily life.
Her approach is warm, respectful, and interactive. She listens first, then collaborates on clear steps you can try between sessions. She aims to be honest and sometimes gently challenging when it helps move things forward.
Brenda has helped people through grief, life transitions, and the stresses of caregiving and aging. She also lists adoption and foster care among topics she pays attention to when relevant to a person's story.
If you are ready to take a first step toward change, she encourages asking for support. The initial work typically focuses on identifying immediate concerns, setting goals, and choosing strategies that fit your life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and helps them set realistic goals and steps to try between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It often includes practices for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication that can be practiced outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Brenda works with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan together over time.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the environments where they live and work, which can help transfer changes into daily routines.
