About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar challenges, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Patricia focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions. She uses straightforward talk and exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and build coping habits. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on steps someone can try this week.
Her background includes long experience with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns and with a wide range of life stressors. She describes working with communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, and family of origin conflicts. She also addresses domestic violence, dissociation, and the effects of major losses and disasters.
Patricia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to help people build skills in emotion regulation, communication, and relapse prevention.
Sessions follow a practical, skills-focused style. New clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to identify goals and a plan. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can guide practical homework such as tracking thoughts, testing a new response, or practicing sleep routines between appointments. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with online sessions used to teach and rehearse those skills in short, actionable steps.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and agree which methods to prioritize. That agreement can change as progress is tracked and new issues come up, so plans are adjusted together over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without travel time, or options that use less bandwidth. These practical benefits help people practice skills more consistently and keep therapy manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
