About Cara
Cara Greene is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She works with adults in Nevada and focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, parenting, grief, and anger.
Cara keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now and looks for patterns that keep problems going. Conversations often include looking at emotions, past experiences that still matter, and skills to cope with daily pressures.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology, a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University, and post-graduate study at the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis. She has worked in private practice and community mental health, and has managed social work programs. She also taught clinical training and supervision at the graduate level.
Cara has helped people with mood and anxiety concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, career difficulties, blended family issues, and adjustments related to aging. She has run webinars about stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic and common coping strategies.
In sessions she uses a psychodynamic approach alongside other methods so she can respond to what each person needs. Many clients find this combination useful for understanding recurring patterns, managing strong feelings, and finding clearer ways to act in relationships.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic work and remote sessions
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring patterns shape present feelings and reactions. It often helps with long-standing anger, relationship tensions, grief, and stress by making those patterns clearer and giving people more choice in how they respond.Cara pairs psychodynamic work with practical talking and coping techniques. She approaches treatment as a collaborative process and will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, what doesn't, and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be better when video would be difficult, and video lets the therapist and client read facial expressions and body language. The aim is to make therapy manageable and relevant to everyday concerns while adapting approaches to each person's needs.
