Stephanie Greene , LISW

Stephanie Greene, LISW, brings twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience to her practice in South Carolina. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker she combines clinical knowledge with a practical, personable style to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and professional exploration.

She has particular expertise in eating-related concerns, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and care before and after bariatric procedures such as WLS (Weight Loss Surgery). Many clients continue working with her for health maintenance after primary concerns improve, shifting focus to sustaining healthy coping strategies and ongoing personal growth.

In private practice since 2002, she has served as the lead psychological editor for a column in a national surgical journal, taught collegiate courses as adjunct faculty, and maintained affiliations with multiple professional organizations. Her approach centers on addressing current issues while building self-awareness and adaptive coping skills across life contexts. She is straightforward and personable while maintaining clear boundaries, and she supports clients in doing the sustained work required for meaningful change.

Therapeutic Methods and Online Care

Stephanie Greene draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online treatment. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients set the pace and focus for growth; it is well suited for work on self-esteem, relationship issues, and adjustment to life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills and action steps, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and eating-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies so the plan fits the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. Licensed professionals can combine these methods to create an individualized path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and fit care into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and receive support in ways that match each person’s routine and comfort level.
