About Patrick
Patrick Elzey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. He brings 15 years of clinical experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, substance concerns, and life changes. He describes his style as warm and interactive and aims to tailor care to each person without judgment.
He uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, workable steps people can try between meetings. He helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and set goals that fit their daily life.
Patrick often draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts without letting them take over. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge thinking patterns, and client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the person’s priorities. Mindfulness skills and emotion-regulation tools are part of the toolkit when they suit the client.
His background includes work across many common concerns: relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and grief, career challenges, ADHD-related struggles, bipolar disorder, and issues around addiction and recovery. He also supports people facing aging or caregiver stress and those coping with body image, guilt, or impulsivity.

How these approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and keep moving toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep troubles by shifting attention toward values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experience, with the therapist following the client’s lead and reflecting what matters most to them.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit the person. Clients can try different methods and adjust the plan as they go to find what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, sleep routines, and pacing to work well in remote sessions, while staying focused on the client’s everyday demands and goals.
