About Lisa
Lisa Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the fallout from trauma. Her work often centers on parenting and family concerns, and she supports people facing grief, relationship strain, and career stress.
She has worked in outpatient clinics, residential treatment programs, hospitals, and schools. That range of settings gives her familiarity with different life contexts and practical day-to-day challenges. She also teaches graduate social work courses, with a primary focus on the impact of childhood trauma.
Her clinical background includes care for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. She has significant experience addressing post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse. Those concerns are often addressed alongside issues like low self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward steps you can try between meetings. Lisa aims to make sessions practical and focused so people can try ideas that fit real life. Her weekday daytime schedule may work well for parents juggling routines, and she is open to discussing scheduling options when needed.
Evidence-based approaches for family and trauma concerns
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach addresses trauma by helping people process upsetting memories and reduce triggers, which can ease daily anxiety and improve sleep. Another approach targets mood disorders by building routines, tracking symptoms, and testing small behavior changes to lift mood and stabilize day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. If a technique does not fit, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during weekday daytime hours. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Discuss scheduling and format when you begin so sessions work with your routine and goals.
