About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes.
He uses practical, straightforward conversations to address day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings - for sleep, mood, anger, and managing impulses. Patrick draws on several therapeutic methods to match those goals.
Patrick often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches when people need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas appear when the work centers on values and action rather than only symptom reduction.
His background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, substance use, bipolar mood issues, caregiver stress, blended family problems, and aging or geriatric matters. He also addresses more specific topics like hoarding, body image, impulsivity, and fatherhood issues.
In sessions Patrick keeps the focus practical. He helps set clear goals, teaches coping strategies, and reviews progress regularly. People who want a direct, skills-focused approach that connects therapy to daily life tend to find this style useful.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts instead of struggling with them. It can help when someone wants to clarify what matters and take practical steps toward those values despite anxiety or low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday concerns where changing thoughts and behaviors improves functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when mood swings, impulsivity, or strong reactions make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and he will adjust strategies as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and focused on practical next steps.
