Stephanie Greene, LISW

Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, stress, anxiety, mood struggles, eating‑related issues, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and direct, and she keeps sessions focused on what a person needs right now.

Stephanie often helps people who have struggled with binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and those preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, career change, and challenges with self‑esteem. Many clients move into longer term work aimed at maintaining healthy coping skills.

She has worked in independent practice since 2002 and has experience as an adjunct faculty member and as a lead psychological editor for a national surgical journal. That background informs a balanced style that mixes clinical knowledge with clear, everyday guidance.

In sessions she is straightforward and personable while keeping healthy boundaries. Stephanie aims to help people identify practical steps they can take between sessions. She also emphasizes self‑awareness and growth rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist and client define goals together. Stephanie believes change requires effort from both people in the room, and she focuses on skills that support lasting improvement.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them during stress, relationship strain, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. That collaborative stance helps match methods to real life needs.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or have shorter check‑ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to virtual work by assigning skills practice between sessions and using the session time for focused problem solving and support.
