Stephanie Greene, LISW

Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Her approach is direct and warm, and she encourages clients to take an active role in making changes.

Stephanie helps people navigate eating and body-image issues, including support around binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and bariatric surgery journeys. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment struggles, and the emotional fallout from divorce or blended family challenges. Career concerns, parenting strain, caregiving stress, grief, and substance-related issues are part of her regular work.

Her clinical style draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's goals, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they fit the client’s needs.

Stephanie has maintained a private practice since 2002 and has taught college courses and served as a psychological editor for a national surgical journal. That background informs her work with people facing health-related concerns and life changes. She helps clients build lasting coping skills after initial goals are met.

People can expect straightforward feedback and clear boundaries in sessions. Stephanie aims to help clients notice what’s working, practice new skills between meetings, and keep progress steady over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s goals and experience, so online sessions are shaped around what each person wants to work on and how they prefer to proceed. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses clear exercises and homework, which can be reviewed together during remote meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides short practical skills for coping with intense emotions and can be taught and practiced in session over video or phone.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients have input about pacing, priorities, and which skills to emphasize as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. It also supports continuing care after in-person work ends, helping clients maintain coping skills and follow up on progress without needing to reorganize their schedules.
