About Patsy
Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, identity questions, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem.
Patsy uses straightforward conversation and practical skills work in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and then helps them try small, manageable changes. That can mean learning ways to notice triggers, practice calmer responses, or reframe unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her work often focuses on identity and belonging, including support for LGBT concerns. She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. Patsy pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences shape current patterns.
Clinically, she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practice, and a client-centered orientation. Those methods inform skills for emotion regulation, values-based action, and clearer problem solving.
Patsy aims to make sessions practical rather than theoretical. Expect to talk through recent situations, identify patterns, and try concrete tools between meetings. She asks about goals and adjusts recommendations based on what helps in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from stuck avoidance or shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is practical for anger linked to workplace stress or recurring conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of how strong emotions unfold.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Patsy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and everyday life. That means checking how a skill works in real situations and adjusting the plan based on what the person notices.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or choose audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Licensed professionals use these tools to help people practice new responses and carry changes into daily routines.
