Cara Greene , LCSW

Cara Greene is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical experience, offering therapeutic support from Nevada. She focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and life challenges at a pace that feels comfortable. Empathy and understanding are central to her approach, and she aims to help clients build hope and confidence as they work toward meaningful change.

Cara completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at Connecticut College, earned a graduate degree in social work from Adelphi University in New York, and pursued post-graduate training at the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis in New York. Her career spans private practice, community mental health centers, and agency leadership, including service as Director of Social Work at a large social services agency where she managed therapy programs and supervised staff and therapists in training. She also taught graduate courses in social work and mental health counseling at Long Island University, concentrating on clinical training, supervision, diagnosis, and treatment.

She has extensive experience working with adults and older adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, mood and personality disorders, social anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship and family conflict, divorce adjustment, parenting, caregiving and chronic illness, grief, and challenges related to aging. In 2020 she presented webinars addressing COVID-related stress and practical techniques to reduce anxiety. Trained in multiple therapeutic approaches, she adapts methods to match each person’s needs and goals.

Cara offers flexible communication options including video sessions, phone, and text-based messaging. She typically checks messages several times a day, Monday through Sunday, and most often responds within 24 hours. She looks forward to connecting with prospective clients to explore whether her experience and style are a good fit.

Psychodynamic and Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, patterns, and unconscious influences shape current feelings and relationships. It helps people understand recurring emotional reactions, improve interpersonal connections, and address issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and mood concerns.

Alongside psychodynamic work, Cara draws on an integrative, flexible approach that combines techniques from multiple therapeutic traditions to meet each person’s needs. This adaptability allows her to address a broad range of concerns from anxiety and stress to grief, caregiving challenges, and life transitions by tailoring methods to individual goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cara collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus and techniques as goals evolve. That collaborative exploration helps ensure that therapy fits the client’s concerns, timing, and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
