About Stacy

Stacy Mora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC licenses in Arizona and Virginia and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, depression, relationships, family issues, grief, and ADHD.

Stacy uses clear, practical methods to help people manage distress and rebuild daily functioning. She listens to each person's account and focuses on strengths they already have. Sessions aim to identify what feels unmanageable and practice steps that reduce overwhelm and improve coping.

Her background includes graduate training in counseling and a long history of treating trauma, anxiety, and mood concerns. That experience informs how she structures sessions, sets goals, and tracks progress. She draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Stacy also incorporates client-centered work to keep the sessions grounded in the person's priorities, and she uses EMDR to address traumatic memories when appropriate. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support coping and to strengthen motivation for change.

People seeking help with parenting stress or difficult family dynamics will find an approach focused on practical communication and manageable steps. Stacy asks about everyday routines and relationship patterns, then practices concrete skills in session that can be tried between meetings.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Stacy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms.

She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories when it fits a person's goals. EMDR is a structured method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact; it is most often used when trauma is a core concern.

Choosing the right approach is something she does with each client. She will talk about what feels most useful, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on how things go. This collaborative process helps match techniques to the person's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for use between sessions so progress continues outside of meetings.
