Devita Brevard, MD, LCSW-C

Devita Brevard is a licensed Maryland clinician with 15 years of professional experience and more than 13 years working specifically with trauma. She holds an MD, indicating medical training, and an LCSW-C, which is a licensed clinical social worker certification. Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, process trauma and abuse, and live with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression.

In addition to those core specialties, she works with difficulties related to communication, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety. She treats each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to fit each client’s particular needs and goals. Devita frames the process as a collaborative effort and aims to support clients as they take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Devita uses trauma-focused approaches to help people process and integrate difficult experiences; these methods aim to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic events and improve daily functioning. She also employs cognitive and skills-based strategies that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and teaching practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, mood symptoms, and relationship challenges. Each approach is grounded in evidence and adapted to the individual’s needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Devita approaches selection as a collaborative process. Together with each client she explores goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques to determine the best path forward and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
