About Patricia

Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and family concerns. She works with people who feel stuck by old patterns from their family of origin, by communication problems, or by life changes that make everyday functioning harder. Patricia uses practical skills to address sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career stress as well as mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and ADHD-related difficulties.

She begins sessions by listening to what matters most right now and by checking in about immediate needs. Patricia uses clear, down-to-earth language and teaches coping strategies you can try between sessions. That can include thought-focused exercises, mindfulness practices, and ways to improve how you talk about needs and boundaries.

Over two decades she has worked with people facing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and she brings that experience to relationships, communication, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses abandonment, attachment, blended family conflicts, codependency, and separation or divorce concerns when those themes affect daily life.

Patricia draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for communication and mindfulness approaches to help manage intense emotions. Sessions focus on concrete tools and honest conversation to make small, sustainable changes.

People who contact her can expect straightforward recommendations, practiceable skills, and ongoing review of what is helping. Before booking, confirm the current session options offered for scheduling and format.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps people feel heard and develop their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to reduce overwhelming reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review how a technique is helping and adjust the plan as needed so sessions remain practical and relevant.

The biography does not specify which session formats are currently offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and may allow shorter check-ins or phone-only meetings when that is helpful. Many people find remote work useful for accessing consistent therapy, practicing skills between meetings, and keeping regular communication with their licensed professional.
