Stephanie Greene, LISW

Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with twenty years of experience in psychotherapy and clinical social work. She collaborates with individuals, couples, and families to address adjustment challenges, stress and anxiety, relationship and family dilemmas, career exploration, life transitions, and coaching needs. Stephanie has particular expertise in eating-related concerns including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and care before and after bariatric or weight loss surgery.

Many clients remain with Stephanie for ongoing health maintenance after primary concerns have lessened, shifting the focus to sustaining healthy coping skills and continued personal growth. She has maintained a private practice since 2002 and has contributed to the field as a lead psychological editor for a column in a national surgical journal, taught collegiate courses as adjunct faculty, and kept active memberships with professional organizations.

Her practice emphasizes practical problem-solving and the development of self-awareness, with a straightforward and personable style balanced by clear professional boundaries. Stephanie works to identify and resolve the issues that matter most to each client, while encouraging the client to take the active role needed to make lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a collaborative, empathetic relationship to foster self-awareness and personal growth. CBT examines patterns of thought and behavior, helping clients reframe unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are especially helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and needs, and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Stephanie offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family, and geographic constraints, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to support progress through tools and conversations that suit each client’s lifestyle.
