Cara Greene, LCSW

Cara Greene is an LCSW with 30 years of clinical experience who practices in Nevada. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting, career questions, and family-related issues including family of origin concerns. Her background also includes supporting people with chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and aging-related concerns.

Cara focuses on helping people notice the patterns that came from their family of origin and how those patterns affect current decisions and relationships. She uses clear conversation to identify recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits. Sessions tend to emphasize understanding what repeats in daily life and trying small changes to see what helps.

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Connecticut College, a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University, and post-graduate work at the Center of Modern Psychoanalysis. Cara has worked in private practice and community mental health settings. She also served as Director of Social Work at a large social services agency and taught clinical training and supervision at Long Island University.

In practice she combines psychodynamic ideas with practical discussion. That means looking at how past relationships shape present feelings while using straightforward strategies to manage stress or mood. She tends to favor video sessions when possible, but may accommodate other ways to connect based on client preference.

Cara aims to make sessions focused and practical. She asks about goals early, helps identify repeated patterns, and supports steps to adjust behaviors and expectations. People who want to understand how family history still affects their life now often find this approach useful.
