About Stephanie
Stephanie Greene is a licensed independent social worker with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people address stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, and the challenges of parenting. Her style is direct and personable while keeping clear boundaries.
Stephanie frames work around what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She uses practical conversations and goal-setting to help people build lasting coping skills. Many of her clients move from crisis work to ongoing maintenance of healthier habits and responses.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term independent practice and roles in clinical editing and adjunct college teaching. That mix of practice and writing work shaped a grounded, evidence-aware approach to common life problems. She draws on two decades of seeing how small habit changes add up over time.
Stephanie commonly helps people facing grief, career transitions, family-of-origin issues, and the fallout from divorce or blended family stress. She also supports those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and those coping with addiction or alcohol-related concerns. In sessions she uses familiar methods like client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness skills.
Those tools are applied to real-world problems such as body image, communication problems, commitment fears, and caregiving strain. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's goals and feelings, then shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It helps people feel heard and clarifies priorities for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse control.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly during a break, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into busy family and work schedules.
