About Alissa
Alissa Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, sleep problems, and job or relationship strain. She practices in Virginia and speaks English. Her style aims to make changes that fit daily life.
Alissa uses straightforward, goal-focused work. She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and notices strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and often include small steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight immediate steps that move a person toward what they want. These methods are used together to keep work concrete and results-oriented.
Clients who experienced childhood abuse or neglect are one area of her background. She also has experience supporting people through separation, loss, and relationship difficulties. That experience informs how she listens and plans each person’s next steps.
When someone reaches out, Alissa focuses on what the person wants to achieve and how to get there in small, realistic ways. She encourages active participation and homework that fits into a busy life. The aim is to build confidence and steady improvements over time.

How her approaches fit with online therapy
Alissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves tracking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve sleep. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on what is already working and on quick, practical steps toward specific goals. This approach can help when someone wants clear, short-term progress on a particular problem like managing stress or improving mood. Finding the right style is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, best matches their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Clients can give feedback and adjust the plan as they go. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions or live chat can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging is useful for quick reflections or touching base between sessions. These options offer flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and goal progress.Questions people ask about Alissa
