Moira Barocas
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients build practical coping skills and insight they can apply in daily life.
My work is grounded in systems thinking, collaboration with schools and families, and helping clients build emotional regulation, insight, and long-term coping skills.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard while also working toward meaningful, sustainable change.
First session
In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in, your goals, and any relevant background. I’ll also explain how I work and answer any questions you have. You don’t need to prepare anything—just come as you are. We’ll end with a sense of what we’ll focus on moving forward.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are building strong, trusting relationships while maintaining clear structure and expectations. I take a calm, consistent, and relational approach that helps clients feel safe enough to engage while still being appropriately challenged. I draw on cognitive-behavioral and skills-based interventions, with a strong focus on translating theory into practical, real-time strategies clients can use in daily life. My work is grounded in systems thinking, collaboration with schools and families, and helping clients build emotional regulation, insight, and long-term coping skills.
Ideal clients
I am here to hold the mirror to your experience and help you guide and navigate your experiences to where you want to be. Barriers are everywhere and can stop from progress, but motivation and intiative will help you heal and overcome most situations. Open to being the guide to help you find yourself and help you reach the version of yourself you'd like to shine through.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It is all connected, your mind, body, emotions, and thoughts. When you become more attuned you have more control and can create a better outcome for yourself. CBT is essential in breaking negative thought patterns and for getting over stagnant phases.
Strength-Based
Everybody and every situation has strengths, when we focus on the strengths we are more able to solve problems creatively and see more positive outcomes.
Motivational Interviewing
Everybody is in a different stage of change. The goal is to figure out where you are in the process and how to move you forward with compassion and understanding.
Humanistic
You are the expert of your experience and the change process is in your hands.
