Stephanie Greene, LISW

Stephanie Greene brings two decades of clinical social work experience to her practice. She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and eating-related concerns.

She uses practical, talk-based work to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better coping skills for daily life.

Stephanie has particular experience with eating and food-related issues, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, and support around bariatric surgery before and after the procedure. She also helps people facing grief, career transitions, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and the ups and downs of major life changes.

Her background includes private practice since 2002, college-level teaching as adjunct faculty, and work as a psychological editor for a national surgical journal. That mix of clinical and written work informs a practical style that values clear boundaries and straightforward conversation.

Therapy with Stephanie often shifts from solving an immediate problem to maintaining healthy coping over time. She works actively with clients but emphasizes that lasting change depends on the client doing the work between sessions. The approach is aimed at building self-awareness and tools that carry into everyday life.

CBT and Skills-Based Care Online

Stephanie integrates cognitive behavioral work with client-centered and dialectical strategies to help people change thinking patterns and build steady coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete experiments and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to guide their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past efforts, and what feels useful, then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative process means adjustments over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone work can fit a short check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or check in when a brief exchange helps. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady path toward better coping.
