About Patsy

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and other life changes. Patsy also lists support for LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with addictions among her focus areas.

Patsy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to the main problem, then helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often include skills people can use right away to manage difficult thoughts and strong emotions.

Her approach draws on clear, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and build coping tools for everyday situations. Mindfulness practices and emotion-regulation skills are also part of the work when they fit the person's goals.

Patsy pays attention to identity-related stress and the ways work, relationships, and sexuality can affect mental health. She helps people talk through relationship strain, intimacy issues, career stress, and identity questions without technical jargon. The focus is on practical problem solving and real-life changes.

People who choose her often look for straightforward guidance on anxiety, social challenges, or shifting life roles. Patsy explains options, outlines steps, and checks progress together so people can see what helps and what needs changing.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to meaningful actions despite discomfort. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and values-based goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person can set their own goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patsy will work with each person to try methods that match their needs and goals. She checks how techniques are working and adjusts the plan based on the person's feedback and preferences.

Confirm the therapist's available online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video or another supported method according to what suits their schedule and energy levels.
