About Patsy

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a Kentucky-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and addiction.

Background and approach

She creates an affirming, compassionate environment that supports exploration of identity, self-worth, and meaningful change while emphasizing collaborative problem solving and personal values. Patsy blends evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor strategies to each person’s needs.

Her work often focuses on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and developing clarity around life direction and interpersonal patterns. With five years of clinical experience as an LCSW, she aims to help clients manage present difficulties and cultivate practical habits that support longer-term wellbeing.

Sessions emphasize respect, curiosity, and partnership; Patsy supports clients in setting realistic goals, practicing new skills, and reflecting on progress. She offers a range of remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences and guides clients through choosing approaches that best match their concerns and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, then tailor interventions or combine methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people managing busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or during breaks in the day, support continuity of care, and allow clients to try different communication methods to see which feels most effective for their progress.
