Stephanie Greene , LISW

Stephanie Greene is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience who works with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide range of emotional and interpersonal concerns. She focuses on adjustment and life changes, stress and anxiety, relationships and family dynamics, career exploration, and life coaching, bringing particular depth of experience in eating-related issues including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and both pre-operative and post-operative bariatric care (WLS - Weight Loss Surgery).

Many of her clients continue therapy for health maintenance after initial goals are met, shifting attention from symptom reduction to sustaining healthy coping strategies and ongoing personal growth. In practice she emphasizes practical skill building, self-awareness, and maintaining change over time. She is straightforward and personable while maintaining clear professional boundaries, and she encourages client responsibility for the work of change.

Since 2002 she has maintained a private practice and has contributed professionally as a lead psychological editor for a column in a national surgical journal and as adjunct faculty teaching collegiate courses. She holds the credential LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, and practices in South Carolina as a provider experienced in addressing issues such as grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting and blended family challenges, body image, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Stephanie Greene

Stephanie Greene integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping clients explore values, build self-awareness, and improve relationships. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and stress management. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work she does with each person. Stephanie partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective in addressing evolving concerns.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to receive care from home or on the go, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and ongoing support in accessible, convenient ways.
