Lisa Brown

Lisa Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and trauma so they can function better day to day. Her style is straightforward and practical, with attention to safety and coping skills.

Over two decades she has worked in outpatient clinics, residential treatment settings, hospitals, and schools. She also teaches graduate-level social work courses, including a class that focuses on how childhood trauma affects adult life. That teaching informs her clinical approach and keeps her methods current.

She has substantial experience addressing trauma, including sexual assault and abuse, and helps people dealing with post-traumatic stress. She also supports people facing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, as well as those coping with grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Lisa helps people who identify as LGBT, those managing parenting or family stress, and those facing career-related concerns. She works with attention challenges such as ADHD and supports people trying to rebuild self-esteem after hard experiences.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and mood concerns. One common approach she uses involves trauma-focused work that helps people process painful experiences and reduce symptoms tied to past events. This kind of work supports people coping with post-traumatic stress and sexual assault or abuse reactions.

She also uses interventions aimed at mood regulation and anxiety management that teach concrete skills. These tools help with depression, bipolar mood swings, overwhelm from stress, and managing worry in daily life. The focus is on practical steps people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest techniques that seem most helpful. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what doesn’t.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible timing when life is busy, helping therapy stay consistent with everyday demands.
