Stephanie Greene

Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical social work and psychotherapy experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating and body image issues, self-esteem, and questions about career and life purpose. She also supports people coping with grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

She explains things plainly and stays direct in sessions. Conversations focus on the problem at hand and practical ways to manage it. Many clients continue beyond initial work to maintain coping skills and prevent relapse.

Stephanie brings particular experience with eating-related concerns, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and care around bariatric surgery. She combines listening with problem-solving to help people form reliable habits and clearer choices about food and body image.

Her clinical approaches include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to address unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, and strengthen everyday routines.

Before private practice she served as a lead psychological editor for a national surgical journal and taught as adjunct faculty at the college level. Since opening her practice in 2002 she has kept a focus on practical skills, honest feedback, and helping clients do the work that leads to longer-term maintenance of gains.

How Stephanie’s approaches are used online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and decide what they want to focus on in sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is used to break patterns of anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful eating behaviors by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and building steady coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods seem to fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on thinking patterns, emotion skills, mindfulness, or motivational strategies.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about scheduling and session length to match therapy to everyday life.
