About Cara
Cara Greene is an LCSW licensed in New York and Nevada with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, parenting concerns, and blended family issues among other concerns.
Cara uses a psychodynamic approach to help people understand patterns that affect current life and relationships. Sessions focus on clear talk about what is happening now and how past experiences shape reactions. She aims for steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology from Connecticut College and a graduate degree in social work from Adelphi University. She also completed post-graduate work at the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis and spent many years teaching clinical training, supervision, diagnosis, and treatment at Long Island University.
Cara has worked in private practice and in community mental health settings. She has experience managing therapy programs and supervising clinicians and trainees. That mix of clinical work and teaching informs how she structures sessions and sets clear goals with each person.
In recent years she has offered webinars on stress management, including resources developed during the COVID-19 period. People who meet with her can expect straightforward discussion, attention to emotional patterns, and a focus on skills that help with everyday functioning and relationships.
Psychodynamic perspective and working online
Cara practices primarily from a psychodynamic framework, which focuses on how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions and relationship patterns. This approach helps people identify long-standing patterns that show up in parenting, partnership dynamics, and everyday stress.She uses talk-based work to name recurring feelings and link them to present situations. That can reduce repeated misunderstandings and help someone in a blended household notice how they respond under stress. Psychodynamic work often pairs insight with practical steps for handling tense moments and recurring conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cara will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in on what is helping and adjusts how sessions proceed based on feedback and progress.
