About Stephanie
Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical social work and psychotherapy experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, eating-related issues, mood concerns, and career or life transitions. Stephanie also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, and identity or self-esteem struggles.
She started private practice in 2002 and has worked in clinical, academic, and editorial roles since then. That background means she is familiar with both everyday pressures and more complex medical or surgical contexts related to eating and weight concerns.
In sessions she is direct and personable while maintaining professional boundaries. She focuses on practical coping skills and honest conversation. Much of her work shifts over time from addressing an immediate problem to ongoing health maintenance and skill practice.
Stephanie uses several therapy methods in her work, including client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She applies these methods to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and set realistic goals.
Her practice includes support for issues tied to family of origin, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, body image and eating disorders, cancer and caregiver stress, codependency, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and coping after disasters. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people clarify values and make decisions when they feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce intense reactions and improve communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean trying a CBT tool one week and practicing DBT skills the next, then checking in about what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or conversations without needing travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists can use the same therapeutic skills remotely to teach techniques, review homework, and track progress over time.
