Patricia Greer, LCSW

Patricia Greer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. She offers a steady, practical approach aimed at helping clients feel more in control and more like themselves. Patricia writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Patricia focuses on co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns and on problems that often come with them. She helps people talk through grief, trauma, depression, anger, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, and attention challenges.

Her work uses clear, skills-based methods. Sessions often cover communication tools, coping strategies, and ways to manage emotions so daily life feels easier. Patricia draws from several approaches to match techniques to a person's goals.

People who come to her can expect direct, compassionate feedback and practical homework between sessions when it helps. She aims to help people build assertiveness and find their own voice. Her emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Patricia practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and timing options to make sure they fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where people lead the pace and topics of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs time to sort feelings and decide what changes matter most to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping habits for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. The plan is collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Patricia currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commutes, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and accommodate quieter scheduling needs. Licensed professionals can still use skill-building exercises, homework, and communication practice effectively through remote sessions when those formats are available.
