Stephanie Greene , LISW

Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with twenty years of clinical social work and psychotherapy experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Stephanie helps people facing grief, career questions, addictions, and parenting challenges, and she works with those navigating bipolar disorder and depression.

Stephanie uses a direct and personable style in sessions. She aims to help people get through the immediate problem and then build habits to keep coping skills strong. Many clients continue therapy for health maintenance after their initial concerns ease.

Her practice includes significant experience with eating and food-related issues such as binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and support around bariatric surgery. She also addresses family of origin concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family stress, and communication or control problems.

Stephanie has been in private practice since 2002 and has served as a lead psychological editor for a national surgical journal. She has taught college courses as adjunct faculty and keeps active connections with professional organizations.

In sessions she works in a straightforward way while maintaining clear boundaries. She uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients set goals, make changes, and strengthen day-to-day coping. Clients collaborate with her and do much of the work between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stephanie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that suit online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s perspective, and working at the client's pace; it helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful eating patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try strategies together. If one approach is not helping, she will adjust the plan so the work matches what the person needs and can practice between sessions.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain steady progress.
