Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with identity. She works with clients wrestling with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, ADHD, and other life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical tools to manage worry and strong emotions. Sessions focus on building skills for coping, improving self-esteem, and handling workplace or relationship strain. Patsy listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals and steps toward them.

Patsy draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She blends strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and a client-centered style. That mix lets her move between skill-building, values work, and reflective listening as needed.

Her practice is especially attentive to LGBT concerns and identity questions. Patsy also supports people dealing with trauma, eating struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.

With five years of clinical experience, Patsy brings steady, respectful guidance to the work. Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on small steps that fit into a client's routine. People leave with concrete tools and a clearer sense of direction.

How different approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions feel overwhelming. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where learning new coping skills makes daily life easier.

Patsy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust over time based on what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people practice skills in the moments they need them most, with the therapist's guidance on applying tools to real situations.
