About Patricia

Patricia Greer brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in North Carolina. As an LCSW, she has spent 20 years helping people manage stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, grief, depression, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

Patricia’s work emphasizes practical skills and personalized strategies that help clients navigate major losses, trauma, relationship strains, and the daily demands that interfere with wellbeing. Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, empathic stance that values each person’s perspective.

Patricia draws on client-centered techniques to build trust and collaboration, while using cognitive behavioral tools to identify thinking patterns and DBT-informed skills to improve emotional regulation. She also integrates mindfulness practices and relationship-focused methods to strengthen communication and coping in families and partnerships.

Patricia aims to help clients discover assertiveness, greater self-acceptance, and realistic plans for change, guiding them toward clearer priorities and more satisfying daily life. Patricia welcomes adults seeking support for a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, addiction, bipolar symptoms, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, and career transitions.

Her practice offers a steady, practical orientation to change, pairing active skill-building with respectful listening and encouragement.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Patricia uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, collaborative environment where clients’ goals and values shape the work; this approach supports people who need a listening, validating space to explore priorities and build motivation for change. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and then practice practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and address mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, teaching concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve communication.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the early process. Patricia works together with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment stays relevant and useful rather than fixed or prescriptive.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach support from home or work. These formats offer flexibility for follow-up, skill coaching between sessions, and different communication styles, helping clients maintain continuity of care while pursuing growth and symptom relief.
