Cara Greene is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She combines extensive training and a long history of direct care, program leadership, and teaching to support adults and older adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, caregiving demands, and life transitions. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology from Connecticut College, a master of social work from Adelphi University, and post-graduate study at the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis, along with many years of clinical teaching at Long Island University where her focus was clinical training, supervision, diagnosis, and treatment.

Cara has provided therapy across private practice settings, community mental health centers, and agencies, and she served as Director of Social Work for a large social services agency where she managed therapy programs and supervised staff and trainees. She has worked with a wide array of concerns including mood and personality disorders, parenting and family issues, caregiving and chronic illness, aging-related adjustment, career and vocational stress, and challenges common in LGBT and blended family situations. In 2020 she offered webinars addressing COVID-related stress and practical techniques to reduce anxiety.

Known for a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach, Cara aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore their feelings and move toward change at a comfortable pace. She draws on psychodynamic principles and a flexible, integrative stance to tailor treatment to each person. She is available for video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, typically checking messages several times daily and often responding within 24 hours.
