About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, addictions, grief, and sleep problems. He also addresses concerns like ADHD, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Patrick keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He offers conversational work that focuses on what is happening now and what people can try between meetings. He uses everyday language and clear tools rather than jargon. Expect to talk through specific problems and practice skills you can use at home.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix lets him work on thoughts, emotions, behavior patterns, and values rather than relying on one fixed method. He often pairs skill work with reflective conversation to help people make choices that matter to them.
Patrick has a background in social work and brings experience with addiction, trauma, and mood disorders. He also helps people facing caregiver stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and aging-related adjustments. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are practical and focused.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It helps people move toward a meaningful life rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate every unwanted feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings attention to emotion regulation and coping skills useful for strong or rapidly changing feelings. It emphasizes practical strategies for distress tolerance and clearer communication.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
