Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings. Her work is informed by several evidence-based approaches. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and dialectical strategies are woven in to manage strong feelings in the moment. Patsy has five years of clinical experience and holds a Kentucky LCSW 257359.
She offers care with attention to LGBTQ concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex trauma. Language of service is English and she does not accept international clients. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription model is used for scheduling and can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability.
Approaches for online work and next steps
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It uses simple exercises to connect daily actions with personal values and can help with depression, anxiety, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with real-life experiments. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That lets them try an approach and adjust it over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text lets people send brief updates between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
