Therapeutic approaches and online care with Patricia Greer

Patricia Greer blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to meet a wide range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their values and goals and gain confidence in their own decisions. CBT teaches practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning. DBT combines acceptance and change skills, offering tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are useful for people managing intense emotions or unstable relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Her LCSW training guides a flexible, client-focused plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within accepted regions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, consistency in care, and multiple ways for people to engage with therapy that match their comfort and communication style.
