About Patsy

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who helps people facing anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, and major life changes. She supports those coping with stress, grief, addiction, relationship worries, and struggles with identity and intimacy. Patsy makes time for people feeling overwhelmed by career pressure, ADHD symptoms, or burnout and compassion fatigue.

Her work focuses on creating an affirming space where clients can be heard and understood. She takes a practical, collaborative approach and helps clients set small, doable goals. Sessions often include developing coping strategies for stress, managing intense emotions, and building healthier routines around food and body image.

Patsy uses a mix of evidence-based methods that suit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered principles, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are woven together to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and values-based action.

With five years of experience, Patsy works to help clients find clarity and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She often focuses on skills that can be used outside sessions, like grounding exercises, behavior experiments, and values-based planning. The aim is to support lasting change in daily life.

Patsy works in English and practices in Kentucky. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to control every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and eating-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of treatment. Patsy collaborates with each person to test methods and pick what feels most helpful. She mixes techniques based on goals, preferences, and the challenges someone brings to sessions rather than using a single fixed method.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a work break or between other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule or less reliance on a high-bandwidth setup when needed. Licensed professionals adapt tools like behavioral experiments, mindfulness exercises, and values-based planning so people can practice them between sessions and track progress over time.
