About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes.

Patricia keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. She uses problem-solving and skills practice so progress feels tangible over time.
Background and approach
Her background includes two decades working with a wide range of life concerns. That experience includes substance use and co-occurring mental health issues, major losses, and relationship and family difficulties. She brings a steady, empathic presence when things feel overwhelming.
Patricia draws on several established approaches to tailor care. She uses client-centered listening to understand needs, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness to ease intense emotions. She also uses techniques aimed at improving communication and relationship patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Patricia practices in North Carolina and holds an LCSW license (NC LCSW C006348). She aims to help people find clearer boundaries, better self-care, and more confidence in everyday life.
How Patricia’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, listening closely and following the client’s lead to set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical behavioral habits to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage addiction triggers. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what’s working, adjust techniques, and try different tools until a good fit is found.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy days, manage travel limitations, and pick the format that best suits their pace and needs.
