Patricia Greer, LCSW

Patricia Greer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with twenty years of experience helping people navigate stressful life moments. She focuses on practical help for anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Patricia aims to make it easier to ask for help and to support steady progress over time.

She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. That can mean listening closely, helping a person learn new coping skills, or working on communication and relationship patterns. Patricia emphasizes building assertiveness and stronger self-awareness so people can make decisions that fit their lives.

Her experience includes work with trauma, substance use, family-of-origin issues, and blended family dynamics. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress. Patricia brings practical tools for managing emotions and everyday challenges.

Therapy often includes skill-building exercises, behavior-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices tailored to each person. She draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, the Gottman Method for relationship skills, and mindfulness. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented to help clients apply new strategies between meetings.

Patricia practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people find their voice and become more comfortable in their own skin.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and make changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses specific exercises and small homework tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools can help with strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with urges or cravings.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better suits a schedule, and make it simpler to use worksheets or mindfulness exercises between meetings.
