Patsy Tivitt-Moore

Patsy Tivitt-Moore is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship challenges. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for people thinking about identity, self-esteem, or life changes. Patsy also assists clients dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, and work-related strain.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on short-term strategies and longer-term goals. She uses clear tools to help people recognize patterns, try new behaviors, and handle hard emotions without getting stuck.

Patsy draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. That variety lets her tailor work to each person’s needs and preferences.

Over five years in practice, she has supported people with a wide range of concerns from ADHD and bipolar-related struggles to intimacy and career questions. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and other relational patterns.

Patsy works with LGBTQ clients and those exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures, always aiming to create an affirming environment.

Approaches used in online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then taking steps that fit a person's values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or anger make it hard to move toward meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for managing strong anger, relationship conflict, or intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, and skills coaching in real-world moments, helping translate what is learned in sessions into everyday situations.
