About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Patrick also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, and career or parenting concerns.
Patrick uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. He aims to listen first and tailor strategies to each person’s situation. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with an emphasis on learning skills people can use between meetings.
He draws on several therapy styles to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people who want to live by their values even when feelings are difficult.
Patrick also works from a client-centered stance that prioritizes respect and sensitivity. That means he tries to follow the person’s lead and build on their strengths. Over time the work typically mixes short-term problem-solving with deeper exploration of meaning and goals.
People who reach out can expect clear conversation about goals and practical steps to move forward. Patrick encourages honest talk about setbacks and makes room for small experiments that test what helps in daily life.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is often helpful for people wrestling with anxiety, low motivation, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide the work; it supports people who need to feel heard as they explore goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client will work together to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the situation. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Many people find remote sessions let them practice new skills between meetings and apply changes more quickly to daily routines.
