Dr. Mueller believes that the person who presents themselves for therapy is dealing with a significant change that they either want to make or are having a change forced upon them. Therefore, it is the therapist's job to work with the client and to help them make that change.

Dr. Mueller works with individuals aged 18 to 65 of all genders, races, religions, and sexual orientations. Some notable people she especially likes to work with are veterans, active-duty military, clergy, disabled clients, and bariatric patients. Dr. Mueller has also taught undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and counseling. She has supervised counselors and nurse practitioners for licensing. Additionally, she has enriched many community organizations with supplemental training on psychological issues.

In this day of virtual everything, Dr. Mueller still prefers to offer face-to-face sessions with individuals, although she has the training and experience with teletherapy. One of the tools she utilizes in these sessions is hypnotherapy. She has over 500 hours of postdoctoral training and hypnotherapy and self-relations therapy under the mentorship of doctor Stephen Gillian Ph.D. a world-famous trainer therapist, and author in the field of hypnosis when counseling clients. 

The Commonwealth of Virginia licenses Dr. Loretta Mueller as a Professional Counselor. Her doctoral degree is from the College of William and Mary, and she has been practicing for almost 40 years in the Hampton Roads area.
