About Patricia

Patricia Greer is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life changes. She works with individuals facing depression, relationship and family difficulties, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem issues, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Patricia practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel vulnerable about asking for help. In session she listens closely, helps clients name what matters to them, and works with them to set clear, achievable goals.

Patricia uses approaches that focus on the person's experience and practical skills. She applies client-centered conversation to build trust, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and dialectical behavior skills to manage intense emotions. She also draws on mindfulness practices and relationship-focused tools when appropriate.

Her background includes long experience with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and she has worked across diverse ethnic and demographic groups since 2005. She helps people develop communication and coping skills for major trauma, loss, parenting strain, and addiction-related problems.

In sessions clients can expect a mix of talk, skill-building, and step-by-step plans to handle everyday challenges. Patricia aims to help people find their voice, practice assertiveness, and feel more comfortable in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, offering space to talk through concerns and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and uses practical exercises to try different ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to emphasize. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels doable for the client.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she conducts sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering a choice about using video or audio. These practical benefits help many people maintain regular work on their goals while handling daily responsibilities.
