About Patsy

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with five years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Patsy also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is direct and collaborative. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions also draw on client-centered and mindfulness practices to slow things down and make day-to-day steps more manageable.

Patsy aims to help people set short-term goals and build skills they can use right away. That can include concrete behavior plans, emotion regulation practices, and values-based decisions. She will talk through what might work for a person's routine and responsibilities.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person and works from there. She offers coaching-style guidance when helpful, and she adapts tools for workplace stress, relationship strain, or caregiver burdens. Her background supports people navigating identity questions, grief, and major life transitions.

Patsy practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. If you plan to start, confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site's steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It works well for anxiety, mood problems, and work-related stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person's own strengths to make choices that fit their life.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Patsy will work collaboratively to identify which methods match the client's goals, preferences, and current challenges. That process often begins with a short plan and adjustments over the first few sessions so the work fits the person's routine.

Confirm the specific online session formats available before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt mindfulness practices, behavior experiments, and values-based exercises to remote meetings so the work can be practical and usable between sessions.
