About Patrick

Patrick Elzey is an LCSW practicing in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, and grief.

Background and approach

He brings a person-centered, compassionate stance that emphasizes respect and sensitivity while helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, career questions, and issues such as sleep difficulties, anger, and impulsivity.

He draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to tailor care to each individual.

Patrick frames therapy as a collaborative process, encouraging clients to explore values, build practical coping skills, and address patterns that get in the way of wellbeing. The practice describes a supportive, interactive style focused on empowerment rather than judgment.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and pricing varies by location and therapist availability via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop willingness to act in line with those values, often using mindfulness and behavioral experiments to address anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill building, which is useful for worries, mood challenges, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, offering practical strategies for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past to select or combine methods that fit the individual's needs. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats support continuity of care around work and family schedules and allow clients to practice skills between sessions in their everyday contexts. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods effectively to remote formats, making it practical to pursue therapy from wherever a person is located within the therapist's service area.
