Desiree Mora
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My goal is to meet clients exactly where they are in their healing journey—whether they are just beginning to confront their trauma or are further along in their recovery. I prioritize creating a trusting, collaborative relationship where clients feel comfortable exploring their emotions while being empowered to take an active role in their healing. I view myself as an anchor for my clients, providing stability, understanding, and guidance as they navigate the challenging terrain of trauma recovery.
First session
In our first session, I would love for us to begin with introductions and answer some random questions to break the ice. Throughout the session I will ask questions to gather more information on your presenting needs and background information. I will always leave time at the end for questions and encourage them!
Strengths
As a social worker, I really stand proud to say that I always strive to be culturally competent and will always meet the client where they are at. I firmly believe knowledge is power and the more knowledge we can identify together, the stronger the ripple effect in maintaining mental health sustainability.
Ideal clients
I really enjoy working with adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life or a specific event. I strive to create a safe space for my client and I to identify goals/plans, talk out thoughts , and feel heard.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
TCBT is the most common modality that I use in treatment. TCBT allows for the client to challenge unhelpful thoughts feelings and actions in a way that is practical and realistic for the client while being gradually exposed to processing trauma.
Trauma-Informed Care
Using trauma informed care is crucial to meeting the client where they are at and is essential in creating a safe space for the therapeutic relationship.
