About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and the day-to-day strains of parenting and work. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague promises.
Patrick uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help people manage reactions and build better routines. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Existential ideas to shape work that fits each person. That mix lets him address thought patterns, emotion regulation, and values-based choices.
In conversations he helps people notice what keeps problems repeating and then practices small changes. Work can include learning breathing and grounding skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, setting boundaries, and creating short experiments to see what helps. He also supports people who are dealing with grief, trauma, sleep problems, or caregiver stress.
Patrick describes therapy as a collaborative process. He and the person set practical targets, try approaches, and adjust what isn’t working. Progress is measured by changes in daily life - clearer communication, fewer angry outbursts, better sleep, or improved coping at work.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when strong emotions appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Patrick will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and adjust as needed. The plan evolves based on what actually helps in everyday life rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or sleep schedules. They also allow brief check-ins when people need a shorter session or when camera-free conversations feel more manageable. Talk with Patrick during the matching steps about which session rhythm and format best suit your day-to-day needs.
