About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
She describes practical work that focuses on communication and coping skills. Sessions aim to reduce harmful patterns and build clearer ways to handle strong feelings. Patricia emphasizes helping people speak up with more confidence and use assertiveness instead of push-pull reactions.
Her background includes long experience with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. She uses several clinical methods to match each person’s needs. That can mean learning concrete strategies for mood, managing urges, or improving day-to-day routines.
In sessions she often focuses on family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and blended family challenges. She also addresses control issues, commitment worries, dissociation, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence when those are part of someone’s story.
Patricia works in plain terms and aims to help clients find practical steps they can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive and behavioral tools, skills for emotional regulation, relationship-focused techniques, and mindfulness practices. People who want direct, skills-based work to manage anger and related stresses may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; it helps when someone wants to talk through personal values and make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems by breaking down situations into manageable pieces. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help reduce reactive outbursts and improve relationships.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means initial sessions often focus on immediate concerns and a brief skills plan to try between meetings.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a weekday break or a quieter part of the day, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to maintain continuity when schedules change. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Sessions are presented to fit into everyday life and to support practicing skills between appointments.
