About Alissa
Alissa Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps parents and families facing stress, anxiety, loss, and relationship strain. She works with people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and whole families. Her focus includes parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and bipolar disorder.
She practices in Virginia and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. Alissa uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
Background and approach
She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what is already working and set clear, achievable goals. In appointments she takes a strengths-based stance.
Clients guide the goals and pace. She helps identify small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable and relationships feel steadier. Alissa has a long history supporting families through separation, loss, and the aftermath of childhood abuse or neglect.
That experience shapes how she listens and plans treatment. Parents often appreciate her clear feedback and focus on practical strategies they can try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Cost varies depending on location and session format, and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT focuses on practical skills and homework tasks that can reduce symptoms between sessions.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term method that centers on clients' strengths and small, achievable goals. This approach is helpful when wanting to build on what already works and make steady progress in parenting, relationships, or daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. Clients remain involved in setting priorities and pacing.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can take place via video calls or phone sessions when more direct conversation is useful. For brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support, live chat and text-based messaging are available. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and keep continuity between appointments.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
