About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices from Indiana and brings 15 years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on practical help for problems like anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and coping with life changes. Patrick uses a calm, respectful approach and aims to meet people where they are.
He keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Clients talk about what feels hard now and pick small, doable steps to try between visits.
Background and approach
He draws on methods that emphasize present-moment awareness, changing unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and clarifying values. Patrick has helped people manage stress, sleep problems, bipolar mood shifts, and struggles with self-esteem and career direction. He also supports those facing grief, trauma, parenting strains, caregiver stress, and challenges related to ADHD.
His work includes attention to issues such as hoarding, impulsivity, body image, and substance use when those concerns come up. In sessions he blends evidence-based techniques with a person-centered stance. That means therapists listen first, then tailor strategies like cognitive-behavioral exercises or mindfulness practices to each person’s goals.
He emphasizes practical tools people can use in daily life. Getting started is straightforward. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
Patrick offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How online approaches and tools fit your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without letting them drive behavior and clarifies what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and anger when values and action need alignment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for depression, sleep problems, and many anxiety-related concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those skills often help with impulsivity, strong anger, and intense mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That process can include mixing techniques so the plan fits daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
