About Stephanie Greene
Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in South Carolina with twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience. She works with individuals, couples, and families to address adjustment challenges, stress and anxiety, relationship and family dilemmas, career and professional exploration, and life coaching needs. Her practice includes extensive experience with eating-related concerns, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and support before and after bariatric weight loss surgery (WLS).
Many of Stephanie Greene's clients remain engaged with therapy for health maintenance after primary concerns have improved, shifting focus to sustaining coping skills and promoting ongoing self-awareness and personal growth. Since beginning private practice in 2002, she has combined clinical work with professional activities such as serving as the lead psychological editor for a column in a national surgical journal and teaching collegiate courses as adjunct faculty.

Her approach centers on working through current issues while building durable coping strategies across life contexts. She is known for a straightforward yet personable style and maintains clear therapeutic boundaries. Stephanie emphasizes collaboration but also affirms that lasting change requires active effort from the client, with the therapist providing guidance, skills, and accountability to support each person's goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie Greene integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore goals and values while the therapist supports self-directed growth. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. DBT offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood swings, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning treatment and confident in the direction of care.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allowing clients to receive support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints. These options can accommodate busy schedules, caregiving demands, and varied comfort levels with different communication styles.
