About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and shifts in identity or life direction. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, grief, addictions, ADHD, and concerns tied to intimacy and self-esteem. Patsy offers an affirming approach for LGBT clients and people navigating workplace stress or big life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Patsy listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work to build skills for managing emotions and urges.
Her style blends client-centered care with skills training. That means conversations focus on each person’s values and strengths while also practicing coping techniques like grounding, cognitive reframing, and behavioral experiments. She aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Patsy has five years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - practicing in Kentucky. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions, with attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they arise.
She also works with people around body image, caregiving stress, codependency, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Patsy encourages clear communication and practical steps toward change, helping clients move from surviving to building a life that reflects their values.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. It helps with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by shifting attention toward chosen actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patsy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shortening commute time or allowing check-ins during a break. It also lets people use methods like mindfulness exercises and behavioral homework in the setting where they live. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote sessions so clients practice skills between meetings and notice practical changes over time.
