About Alissa
Alissa Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, depression, relationship and family conflict, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, and bipolar-related struggles. She brings 12 years of practice to each session and keeps the focus on practical steps people can use right away.
Her style is straightforward and strength-based. Alissa favors short-term, goal-focused work that aims for clear changes.
How Alissa works
She emphasizes solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps so progress feels concrete. She encourages people to set the agenda and pick goals that matter to them.
Alissa helps clients identify existing strengths and build on those assets. This often means practicing new ways of responding to stress, improving sleep habits, or trying different ways to communicate in strained relationships. Her background includes more than a decade of clinical experience across age groups and life stages.
That work included supporting people who experienced childhood abuse or neglect and those coping with separation and loss. The LCSW credential indicates a clinical social work license in Virginia. Alissa aims to make sessions practical and user-friendly.
She works with clients to track progress and adjust plans as needed. Many people find this approach helpful when they want clear steps and support to reach their goals.

How Alissa’s Approaches Work Online
Alissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes to feel and function better. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on current strengths and practical steps, helping people try brief experiments and build on what already works for them.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they will try approaches that match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is useful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use short written exchanges instead of calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same CBT and solution-focused techniques as in office sessions.
