About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, dealing with addiction, or facing anger and relationship difficulties. Her practice focuses on practical problem-solving and clearer communication rather than labels or jargon.
She draws on client-centered work to follow what each person brings to the room. Patricia also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought patterns that fuel stress and anger. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people regain calm and improve sleep and focus.
Her background includes two decades working with diverse adults on co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. That experience informs straightforward, skill-based sessions for real-life problems like parenting strain, work stress, and navigating major life changes. Patricia also addresses attachment and abandonment worries and family-of-origin issues when those patterns affect current relationships.
Sessions include hands-on tools - coping skills, communication practice, and steps to reduce harmful patterns. She may use elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and parts of the Gottman Method to work on communication around relationships. The emphasis is on usable skills you can try between meetings.
People who come to her often want to manage anger without judgment, reduce reactivity, or support recovery from substance use while handling mood or trauma symptoms. The approach is steady and practical, focused on small, achievable changes a person can apply to daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses client-centered methods that ask what matters most to each person, then shapes sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anger active, and offers concrete exercises to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical emotion-regulation skills and distress-tolerance strategies for intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That means trying tools in session and deciding together which ones are worth keeping.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It also lets clients practice skills in their everyday environments and bring real moments from daily life into sessions for timely feedback.
