About Patricia

Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and life changes.

She writes plainly with practical focus. Sessions are aimed at improving coping skills and everyday functioning rather than labels. Patricia helps people talk through current problems and develop clearer ways to communicate and manage strong emotions.

Her background includes long-term work with people who also face substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. She draws on a number of approaches when helping someone make small, manageable changes in daily life. That can mean learning behavioral tools, practicing mindfulness, or trying new ways of speaking with a partner or family member.

Patricia uses techniques to help with grief, major loss, and transitions. She also helps people address family of origin issues, blended family struggles, and patterns such as codependency or control problems. Her work often focuses on practical steps - building assertiveness, improving sleep routines, and reducing harmful coping behaviors.

People who choose her tend to want straightforward strategies and a calm, steady guide through difficult family or parenting stresses. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Patricia integrates evidence-based approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s concerns without directing them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and name practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood or ADHD-related patterns by teaching concrete skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and difficult relationships. It can be helpful when strong anger, impulsive behaviors, or frequent conflict are present.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that make sense for their goals, preferences, and daily life. Adjustments happen over time based on what proves helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or parenting schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the available formats and how they can be scheduled to match your routine.
