About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky who helps people manage a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and career challenges.
Background and approach
She works with clients facing life changes and emotional struggles, offering support for issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, bipolar-related difficulties, compassion fatigue, and intimacy or commitment questions. Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, client-centered approach that blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness-informed strategies.
Patsy draws from evidence-informed methods including CBT, ACT, DBT, and client-centered therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. With five years of clinical experience she focuses on practical skills for coping, emotion regulation, and building healthier patterns while honoring each client’s values and identity.
Patsy creates an affirming environment for exploration and change, helping clients develop personalized plans for stress management, relationship navigation, and long-term wellbeing. Her work also addresses additional concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and diverse relational or cultural practices where relevant to the client’s goals.
Approaches That Guide Online Work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, and committing to actions that align with personal goals, which can help with coping and long-term change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and topics of their work.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting techniques over time to find what fits best for symptom relief and life improvements.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and geographic constraints. These options allow clients to engage in skill-building exercises, values clarification, exposure work, and reflective conversation from locations that suit their schedules, supporting consistent progress and easier access to care.
