Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Patricia Greer
Patricia draws on client-centered therapy to place each person’s goals and values at the center of care - this approach focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - helpful for clients struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulsive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then blends methods to create a plan that fits the individual. That partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and usable in everyday life.
Online sessions make it easier to engage in that work from home or other convenient locations. Patricia offers video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles, increasing flexibility for clients balancing work, family, and treatment needs.
