About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of practice experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She uses direct, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be done differently. She mixes client-centered listening with structured techniques to help people reduce symptoms and manage everyday challenges.
Patricia draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Mindfulness strategies are used to build awareness and calm. The Gottman Method is part of her work on communication and relationship concerns.
Her background includes two decades working with people facing both mental health and substance use concerns. That experience informs a practical focus on communication skills, coping strategies, and handling major losses or trauma. She pays attention to family of origin issues and patterns that repeat across relationships.
Sessions aim to strengthen assertiveness and clearer communication. Patricia helps people set realistic steps, practice new skills, and track progress. She works in a straightforward style intended to fit the busy lives of parents and partners navigating blended household challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia commonly uses client-centered work that prioritizes listening and collaboration. This approach means sessions focus on the person's concerns, values, and goals, with the therapist reflecting back what matters most and helping clarify priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and practices new responses. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily stressors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are also part of her work and teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness for strong feelings and relationship conflicts.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match those goals. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps and what fits the client's life and preferences.
