Cara has really helped me during a difficult transition and as a person without paternal supports. I love her candid attitude and find her forwardness to be both refreshing but not too blunt. I think she walks a fine line of honest, without being hurtful and professional without being too clinical.

Cara helped me work through a tough period I was going through. She taught me skills to help cope, she asked me questions about issues I was having to help work through them, and was always there to listen to me with no judgment. Thank you for your help Cara.

Hi! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important. I am committed to creating a supportive, compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can express your thoughts, feelings, fears and difficulties at a comfortable pace. I believe that empathy and understanding are paramount in building a good working relationship, which in turns helps people feel more hopeful and confident in their ability to make the changes needed to improve their lives.
I want to provide some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. I received an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Connecticut College, graduate degree in Social Work at Adelphi University (NY), and did post-graduate work at the Center of Modern Psychoanalysis (NY). I have been providing therapy in private practice, community mental health centers and agencies, I was Director of Social Work at a large social Services Agency where I managed therapy programs, supervised staff and supervised therapists in training. I also taught for many years in the graduate Departments of Social Work and Mental Health Counseling at Long Island University (NY), where my main teaching focus was on clinical training, supervision, diagnosis and treatment.
I have experience in working with adults and senior adults with a wide array of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, sadness, mood disorders, personality disorders, social anxiety, frustration, self-esteem, life transitions, peer relationships, parenting, pre-marital preparation, marital and/or family conflict, divorce/separation adjustment, occupational and/or educational difficulties, caregiving, chronic illness, grief, and adjusting to the aging process. In 2020, I offered a series of webinars on COVID related stress and techniques to help minimize the anxiety. I’m trained in multiple therapy approaches so that I am better able to work in a flexible way and can more effectively meet your needs.
I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I generally check messages here a few times a day, Monday-Sunday and respond as quickly as I can, most often within 24 hours.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cara has been extremely helpful and gentle with me through my journey with anxiety. She has helped me narrow down the root of some anxiety issues and has taught me tips and tricks to get through moments when I feel anxious. Cara has also educated me on the scientific reasons behind why certain things happen to the mind and body during anxious & stressful moments. I am very grateful for Cara's assistance in my life.
A+
Cara is amazing. I was nervous to try therapy and she had made me feel at ease since day 1. She is a lifesaver. I cannot wait to continue to work with her.
Cara is understanding and caring. Listens. Gives amazing advice to help me with my anxiety
Cara Greene managed to turn my anxiety from a hinderance in my daily life into something I only experience in fleeting moments. She’s changed my life in such a phenomenal way, even my friends and family have noticed the difference. She’s been a huge help in helping me overcome my problems and even helping me work up the confidence to get a job ! By far the best therapist I have experienced in my 6 years of searching.
Cara is responsive and genuine in her approach. I appreciate her comforting yet straight forward counseling style
Cara was amazing. She connected with me easily and was able to help me identify the roots of the issues that had been troubling me for years. She gave me the tools and the confidence I needed to begin healing and becoming genuinely happier. I would recommend Cara to anyone who is truly serious about healing and evolving.
Wonderful, knowledgeable, helpful, patient, funny.
Cara really understands my issues and “sees me”. I feel comfortable with her to be honest and open up which I know will ultimately help me.
Cara is intuitive and caring about me as a person. I have confidence in her ability to listen to my concerns and to provide quality counseling that I can apply immediately.
Cara is the perfect balance between being caring and being real. She has been so helpful to me and is incredibly knowledgable. Highly Recommend!
As someone who has been through many counseling efforts, I have finally found someone who really gets me. Cara takes the time to really understand the underlying issues that I'm going through and not just take my statements at face value. She's been invaluable at one of the most trying times of my life. Always professional, Cara tells me what I need to hear but also what steps to take to move forward. I am thrilled with the platform but especially thrilled with Cara.
I have had only a few sessions with my counselor but I have been very pleasantly surprised. I have been wanting to do therapy for a while but I didn't know if I would be able to open up. Also because my culture is quite different, I wasn't sure whether someone would be able to understand and advise me in a way that I would find useful and applicable. I am so so glad that I started and she is incredibly easy to talk to. The time flies by each week. I know it'll only be better from here.
Wonderful! Understanding, relateable, knowledgeable and creative. Couldn’t ask for a better counselor at this time.
She is highly recommended! She is a good listener and find out what is your needs. She gives various advises and tools for you to work on based on her experiences! I feel comfortable to talk to her and after the session I felt ease and peace on my mind :) will continue to have sessions with her in the future!
