About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also lists help for ADHD, bipolar, and career questions.
Patsy focuses on clear conversations and practical steps. Sessions look at what keeps difficult feelings active and what small changes might ease them. She uses methods such as acceptance-based work, cognitive techniques, mindfulness skills, and strategies drawn from client-centered and dialectical approaches.
In practice she listens for how guilt or shame shows up in daily life - in relationships, work, faith, or family roles. She helps people name the pattern, notice triggers, and try different responses that fit their values. The pace is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort.
Patsy has experience supporting people through life transitions, workplace stress, and identity questions, including sexual orientation concerns. She also addresses caregiving stress, body image, codependency, and relationship breakup or separation. Her background includes work with clients coping with trauma and addictive behaviors.
Sessions combine talk, skill building, and mindfulness exercises. Clients work on practical tools for managing anxiety and anger, and on building clearer choices around relationships and career. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's scheduling flow and complete the short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Patsy draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, which can help when guilt or shame blocks action.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with real-life experiments. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, low mood, and relationship worries. Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions to build present-moment focus and reduce reactivity to painful memories.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Patsy will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills rather than using a single model.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt skill practices for at-home use and offer paced steps for people dealing with shame or guilt.
