About Stephanie
Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with twenty years of clinical experience. She uses a clear, down-to-earth style to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating concerns, and career questions. Her approach is practical and focused on what clients want to change now.
She draws on client-centered methods to hear each person’s priorities and build goals together. Cognitive behavioral approaches are used when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools are offered to help with emotion regulation and staying grounded in stressful moments. Stephanie has worked in independent practice since 2002 and has experience with eating-related issues, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and care related to bariatric surgery.
Much of her work shifts over time from resolving immediate problems to maintaining healthy coping habits for the future. Her background includes editorial work for a national surgical journal and teaching as an adjunct faculty member at the college level. These roles inform a straightforward, practical style that values clear boundaries and mutual effort.
In sessions she is personable and direct. She helps people set achievable steps, practice new skills, and track progress. Ultimately she expects clients to do the day-to-day work while she provides guidance, feedback, and structure.
Online approaches that teach coping skills and emotional balance
Stephanie commonly uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and to shape sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach emphasizes listening, collaboration, and building a plan that fits everyday life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which targets unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks big problems into small, manageable steps. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are taught as well to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Stephanie will work with clients to try methods, adjust plans, and choose techniques that match goals and preferences. The first sessions typically focus on immediate needs and on identifying which tools feel most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and demonstrated techniques. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to have shorter, ongoing contact and to share progress between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
