About Lisa
Lisa Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 20 years of hands-on experience. She offers calm, straightforward care for people dealing with difficult emotions and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away.
She has worked across outpatient practices, residential treatment, hospitals, and schools. That range means she has seen many ways stress and trauma show up in life. She teaches graduate social work students, including a course on the effects of childhood trauma.
How Lisa works
Her clinical work concentrates on trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps people manage grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. In sessions she aims to make things manageable.
She helps people name what is happening, figure out options, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. The approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapted to each person’s goals. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how trauma and mood problems affect daily life. Trauma-focused methods help people process and reduce the impact of past abuse or sexual assault so symptoms interfere less with daily routines. For mood and anxiety concerns, structured approaches teach skills for managing intense feelings, improving sleep and energy, and breaking patterns that keep symptoms active.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they try methods and adjust them until a good fit is found.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let therapy feel much like an in-person visit, phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is low, and chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
