About Stephanie Greene
Stephanie Greene, LISW, brings 20 years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. Based in South Carolina, she supports clients navigating adjustment concerns, stress and anxiety, family and interpersonal challenges, professional exploration, and life coaching, with a practical focus on building insight and sustainable coping skills.
She has extensive experience working with eating and food-related concerns, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and the unique emotional and behavioral challenges that can arise before and after bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery). Her work often emphasizes helping clients develop healthier patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and create approaches that can be maintained over time.
Many clients continue therapy with her for ongoing "health maintenance" - after primary concerns have improved, sessions may shift toward reinforcing effective coping strategies and supporting continued personal growth. She has been in private practice since 2002 and has also served as the lead psychological editor for a column in a national surgical journal, taught collegiate courses as adjunct faculty, and maintained memberships and affiliations with professional organizations.
Her style is straightforward and personable while maintaining appropriate boundaries. She aims to be an active partner in the process, while recognizing that meaningful change ultimately depends on the client doing the work between sessions and applying what is learned in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Stephanie Greene, LISW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in online therapy, especially for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify what they are feeling, identify what matters most, and build self-trust. It can be especially helpful for self-esteem concerns, relationship dilemmas, and periods of adjustment when a person feels stuck or uncertain.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence each other. Therapy may involve learning skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with new coping strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a strong fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or want clearer skills for communication and boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie Greene collaborates with clients to shape a plan that fits their goals, preferences, and current needs, adjusting over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from a comfortable setting.
