About Christopher
Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. He helps people facing addictions, trauma, depression, anger, relationship struggles, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns. He also supports those coping with caregiver strain, codependency, isolation, and life transitions.
Christopher uses a direct and warm approach in sessions. He aims to make conversations straightforward and easy to follow. He creates a non-judgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and choices.
Background and approach
In practice he blends practical skills work with deeper processing. That means teaching tools to manage strong emotions and changing patterns, while also addressing painful memories and life events. He tailors methods to each person instead of using one fixed style.
He has a background working with veterans and people experiencing homelessness. That work shaped a focus on trauma, substance use, and practical goal-setting. Christopher holds a Pennsylvania LCSW license and draws on several evidence-informed approaches in his sessions.
Sessions often include skill building, problem solving, and guided reflection. Clients can expect clear, stepwise ideas to try between meetings. The aim is steady progress toward better daily functioning and clearer priorities.
People who choose him usually want frank conversation and real coping tools. Christopher helps clients set goals, reduce harmful patterns, and find more balance in day-to-day life.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help with depression, anxiety, and getting unstuck when life feels confusing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for mood disorders, panic, and anger management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process traumatic memories so those memories cause less distress; it is frequently used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which method or combination feels most helpful and adjust it as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
