About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She offers an affirming approach for LGBTQ+ people and others working on identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Patsy focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable and meaningful.
She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and small steps to get there. Patsy combines mindfulness, behavior-oriented techniques, and acceptance-based ideas to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.
Over five years of practice, Patsy has supported people with addiction issues, grief, trauma, career pressure, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses intimacy concerns, body image, codependency, and caretaking stress. Her work often includes helping people set boundaries and improve self-care routines.
Patsy uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. She brings a calm, listening-first style and then helps clients try practical tools between sessions. That mix aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Based in Kentucky, she works with adults who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist. Sessions emphasize clear goals, gentle accountability, and strategies that fit everyday life. People who want help sorting values, managing mood swings, or changing harmful patterns may find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to make meaningful changes despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick strategies that fit the person’s life and adjust them as progress is made in sessions.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats aren’t listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the environments where they live and work, then bring that experience back to future sessions for discussion and adjustment.
