About Stephanie

Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker with twenty years of clinical experience. She uses a straightforward, personable style to help people sort stressful life moments. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies and steady support for everyday challenges.

She works with individuals, couples, and families on issues like stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and parenting. She also addresses eating-related concerns including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and care around bariatric surgery.

Background and approach

Career coaching and managing life transitions are part of her work as well. In sessions Stephanie focuses on resolving the problem at hand and then shifting toward maintaining healthy coping skills. Many clients move into a maintenance phase once primary symptoms ease.

She encourages self-awareness and practical routines that keep gains in place over time. Stephanie has operated a independent practice since 2002. Her background includes work as a psychological editor for a national surgical journal and teaching as adjunct faculty at the college level.

These experiences inform a measured, evidence-informed approach to care. She identifies as direct but warm, with clear boundaries. Stephanie expects clients to take an active role in change while she offers consistent guidance, skills, and honest feedback.

Her work aims for steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Practical approaches for online family and life challenges

Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons goals and preferences, offering empathetic listening and support while clients decide what changes feel right.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings or relationship conflict come up. The therapist works collaboratively to choose which approach fits a persons needs, goals, and comfort level rather than using only one method. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as work unfolds.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make scheduling easier and let people access help from home or while traveling. These options allow for short check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible timing. For many people, online therapy makes it simpler to keep consistent work on parenting, relationships, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
