Dr. Moreno is a bilingual, bicultural licensed clinical psychologist with more than ten years of clinical experience and more than eight years of experience providing evidence-based care to cancer survivors and their family members across three NCI-designated cancer centers. She is Lead of Evidence-Based Survivorship Supportive Care at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Her theoretical orientation is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Moreno aims to collaboratively create a treatment plan and implement interventions flexibly to build self-efficacy and a shared understanding of presenting problems. In the application of CBT and ACT interventions, she strives to balance the need for both change and acceptance consistent with each client’s treatment plan to address acute needs and longer-term goals. Dr. Moreno primarily apply CBT techniques to target distressing and impairing symptoms and employ ACT principles to identify values, explore issues around meaning, and achieve greater overall psychological wellbeing. She has a deep appreciation for the importance of the therapeutic alliance and emphasize respect, empathy, and honoring strengths in the application of any evidence-based treatment.

Diverse Populations

It is Dr. Moreno's belief that multicultural competence involves allowing each individual to define his/her/their own unique and shared cultural identities while also recognizing herself as a cultural being whose presence influences each psychotherapeutic encounter. Her goal is to identify and utilize strengths associated with each client’s unique intersectional background and address any related challenges in the application of individually-tailored interventions.
