Alissa Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. Her LCSW credential indicates advanced social work training and state licensure to provide psychotherapy and support to individuals and families.

She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, offering care for challenges related to separation, grief and loss, depression, and relationship difficulties.

She helps people identify and build on existing strengths to increase confidence and improve day-to-day functioning. Those who seek her support can expect a collaborative partnership aimed at practical progress and meaningful change.

Alissa welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they navigate stress, trauma, parenting concerns, mood challenges, and relationship issues, and she encourages anyone ready for support to take that first step toward a better life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and other patterns that affect daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and practical steps toward achievable goals, helping clients build small, useful changes and focus on what is already working.

Alissa Green draws from these approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. She collaborates with clients to determine which strategies fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time so the approach remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to meet clients where they are. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limitations, and maintain continuity of care despite life changes. These options support consistent progress while accommodating varied comfort levels and daily routines.
