About Alissa
Alissa Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career crossroads, and bipolar concerns. She practices in Virginia and communicates in English.
Alissa works in a practical, strengths-based way. She focuses on what is already going well and how to build on it. Clients set the goals and she helps map steps toward them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Her style leans toward short-term, goal-focused work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to look at thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to find small changes that make a big difference over time. Alissa draws on more than a decade of experience in social work. That background includes supporting people after separation, loss, and significant life changes.
She has worked with people who experienced neglect or abuse in childhood and helps them find ways to cope today. In sessions she helps clients build confidence, practice new ways of thinking, and try different behaviors between meetings. Conversations are practical and paced to match each person.
The aim is real progress toward the goals the client chooses.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Alissa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that make stress and sadness worse. In plain terms, CBT looks at patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on what is already working. That approach helps clients set clear, short-term goals and try small experiments that can quickly change how they feel and function.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then together they decide which approach to emphasize. That collaborative choice can shift as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well when face-to-face conversation matters. Phone sessions suit people who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and family life while keeping the focus on practical steps and real goals.
