Background and approach
Conversations focus on what feels most important to the client and on steps that can be tried between sessions. Patsy combines several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when regulating strong emotions is the priority. Her work includes supporting people facing relationship challenges, substance concerns, grief, sexual identity questions, and stress at work. She also addresses issues such as body image, attention differences, and codependency in straightforward ways.
The goal is clearer values, better coping, and more satisfying day-to-day life. Patsy has five years of clinical experience and practices in Kentucky. She works in a collaborative style and encourages clients to shape the pace and focus of their work.
Many people find the practical, respectful approach helpful when life feels overwhelming.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stuckness, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behavior to reduce symptoms and build confidence. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping, which can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick or blend methods and adjust them as needed so the plan fits the client's life and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, coping reminders, or when writing feels easier. These options help people connect from different locations and schedules while keeping the work focused on practical skills and steady progress.
