About Stephanie
Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, eating and body image concerns, mood disorders, and career and life transitions. Stephanie also addresses family-related patterns, including family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns.
She offers straightforward conversation and practical skills. Sessions focus on identifying what keeps old patterns alive and trying concrete changes that feel doable. She helps people who struggle with eating-related problems, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, and issues before or after bariatric surgery. Many clients continue work with her for ongoing maintenance of healthy coping skills.
Stephanie’s background includes private practice since 2002 and experience as a psychological editor for a national surgical journal. She has taught collegiate courses as adjunct faculty and holds memberships in professional organizations. That experience informs a clinical approach grounded in real-world problems and common-sense strategies.
Her approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the goals. In sessions she is direct about boundaries and about the client’s role in making change.
Clients typically work on present-day challenges that trace back to earlier family dynamics. Sessions cover communication problems, codependency, blended family issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and help with commitment and control issues. Stephanie aims to help clients build and keep practical coping skills over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals and make choices that feel right for them. It’s useful for sorting through relationship patterns and family of origin dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan together. That collaborative decision considers current problems, what has worked in the past, and what feels manageable now.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose not to be on camera or select a session length that fits a work break. Ask about available session formats when scheduling to pick the one that best fits daily routines and practical needs.
