About Lisa

Lisa Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia who brings two decades of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She has provided care across outpatient clinics, residential treatment programs, hospitals, and schools, and she also teaches graduate social work courses with a focus on the long-term impact of childhood trauma.

Her training includes EMDR therapy, and she has substantial experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and related concerns including ADHD and grief.

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues from stress and self-esteem struggles to relationship and career challenges, and she also works with survivors of sexual assault and abuse and those coping with compassion fatigue.

Lisa structures her availability primarily on weekday daytime hours and invites prospective clients to reach out if posted openings do not match their needs so scheduling options can be discussed. Her background in multiple care settings and in teaching informs a thoughtful, informed approach to treatment planning and recovery.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Lisa uses proven trauma-focused and mood disorder interventions in her work, including EMDR therapy to address the lingering effects of traumatic memories and other evidence-based methods to treat anxiety and mood symptoms. EMDR helps people process distressing memories in a structured way, while other therapeutic techniques for mood and anxiety focus on skills for emotion regulation, coping, and reducing symptoms.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences together to determine which evidence-based techniques to prioritize, and adjustments are made over time to fit changing needs and responses to treatment.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These remote options let clients engage in regular care from their chosen location, maintain continuity between sessions, and select the communication format that best supports their comfort and progress.
