About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and difficult life changes. She supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.

She keeps sessions straightforward and client-led. Conversations are respectful and nonjudgmental. Patsy listens for what matters most to each person and then helps build clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also used to increase emotional regulation and tolerance of strong feelings. Patsy aims to make therapy useful for day-to-day life. She works on short-term coping tools and longer-term habits, depending on what a client prefers.
Sessions may include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and real-world steps to test new ways of coping. With five years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, she draws on direct practice to guide treatment choices. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Patsy’s Methods Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to test whether those thoughts are accurate. It is practical for mood, anxiety, anger, and patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to notice emotions without immediately reacting, which supports emotional regulation and reduces reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patsy will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. Together they decide which skills to practice and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get brief support between sessions or to work through exercises in writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
