About Cara
Cara Greene is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, depression, and major life changes. Her approach aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can speak openly and go at a pace that feels right for them.
She uses psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. That work often helps people understand where strong emotional reactions come from and how past experiences shape current behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and reflective rather than rushed or overly technical. Cara has worked in independent practice and community mental health settings. She has held a director role overseeing social work programs and supervised clinicians in training.
She also taught clinical topics in graduate programs, including diagnosis, treatment, and supervision. In practice she supports adults and older adults facing a wide array of concerns such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, career strain, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns and parenting stresses.
Her experience includes helping people cope with transitions, mood disorders, and persistent frustration or low self-esteem. Cara commonly meets by video but also offers phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her pace is steady and empathetic, aimed at helping people name what is hard and build clearer options for change.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships that repeat over time. The focus is on understanding where strong emotions come from and how past relationships influence current reactions, which can be useful for issues like anger, grief, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working makes the most sense. That collaboration continues as goals shift or practical needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial expressions and body language for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style work, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
