About Patricia
Patricia Greer is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in North Carolina. She helps people who feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. She also supports those working through addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship or family problems.
Patricia speaks English and uses clear, practical language so parents and caregivers can follow along easily. Patricia takes a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. She listens first and then helps clients set realistic goals.
Background and approach
She introduces coping skills that can be used at home. Conversations focus on what matters to the person and their family life. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, substance use concerns, and complicated family dynamics.
She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Patricia works with parenting and family questions among other concerns.
She helps clients build communication skills, set boundaries, and manage blended family or family-of-origin issues. Sessions can address parenting stress, sleeping problems, anger, attachment concerns, and coping after loss or separation. In practical terms, Patricia emphasizes small, achievable steps.
She helps people practice new ways of communicating and coping between sessions. Her goal is to help clients find more calm, clearer choices, and steadier routines that fit their family life.
Approaches and online sessions that fit family life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It means the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s priorities to shape sessions. This approach helps people find their own solutions and speak up more clearly in family situations.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.
Dialetical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes skills for distress tolerance and better communication, which can be useful when parenting or handling family conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on the client’s needs, goals, and comfort. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what works best for each family.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties and allow follow-up conversations between appointments. Many clients find the variety of formats helps them stay consistent with care while managing daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
