Patsy Tivitt-Moore , LCSW

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and concerns related to identity and intimacy. She practices in Kentucky and offers a calm, respectful approach that aims to make talking about difficult things easier.

Patsy focuses on everyday challenges like coping with life changes, work stress, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and issues common in LGBTQ lives. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so clients can use skills right away.

In the room she listens first and then works with each person to set realistic goals. Treatment plans are built together and adjusted as needs change. She uses tools that help manage emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking, and increase meaningful action.

Patsy draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Dialectical and client-centered methods shape how she responds when emotions feel overwhelming.

She has five years of professional experience and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online in several formats to suit different schedules.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with anger, grief, and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patsy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She adjusts strategies as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat supports quick exchanges, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
