About Stephanie
Stephanie Greene is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, career concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.
She uses practical, straightforward conversation to address the problem at hand. Sessions focus on building and keeping healthy coping skills once immediate issues ease. Many people continue meeting for maintenance work to preserve gains and handle new stressors as they arise.
Stephanie brings a background in clinical social work and long experience in private practice since 2002. She has served as a lead psychological editor for a national surgical journal and taught collegiate courses as adjunct faculty. Those roles inform her attention to both clinical detail and clear communication.
Her approach combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. In session she is direct but personable, sets clear boundaries, and expects clients to engage in the work between sessions.
People turn to her for help with eating-related problems including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, and concerns before or after bariatric surgery. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, body image, codependency, communication and commitment problems, caregiver stress, and family of origin wounds.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stephanie combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques in session. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and aligning goals to what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy offers simple exercises to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, and then adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single model. That makes it easier to focus on guilt, shame, eating concerns, or relationship patterns in ways that fit the person's life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists trained in these approaches can guide practice exercises between sessions so the work continues outside the meeting time.
