I'm Brenda Moore and I've been a licensed therapist in North Carolina for over 18 years and working in the mental health field for over 27 years. I love to help people find their inner struggles to build their own strength and find resilience in their lives. I'm here to guide and encourage you - I'm not here to solve problems for you, but rather to assist in finding the best way to solve the problems yourself. I meet with clients in a telehealth setting. It's a way for you to be in an environment that is comfortable for you and also to provide you more accessibility to mental health.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we'll spend some time getting to know each other as I learn about what is bringing you to therapy and what your goals are. If you don't have goals, we will work on creating some so that you have direction in your sessions. I'll also ask a lot of questions so that I can understand your past, present and future. I have to come up with a diagnosis for insurance purposes, but I don't want it to be viewed as a label. You are a person first and foremost and any challenges that you face are things we can work through together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that I am a really good listener. I am real during sessions with clients. I will challenge my clients to think outside of the box and find ways to look at problems from different perspectives. I have a lot of great analogies that I use to explain things in simpler terms as examples for how we can move forward. I have a lot of empathy and compassion for the clients I work with. I also am very good at seeing small changes and will point out growth to my clients so that they see their progress.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive behavioral therapy to help people realize the connection between their thoughts feelings and emotions. I feel it's important to realize that they are all connected.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
It's important to be in the moment and live for today instead of in the past or future. This helps to stabilize our mind and focus on the events in our current lives.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
I feel this treatment approach helps us to rationalize our emotions and get us out of self-blaming.
