About Christopher
Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience helping people manage addiction, trauma, anger, depression, ADHD, and relationship struggles. He welcomes straightforward conversations and focuses on practical steps someone can use right away. Christopher aims to make therapy feel like a calm, honest conversation rather than a lecture.
He began his work supporting homeless veterans and later completed a degree in social work and his Pennsylvania LCSW.
Background and approach
That early work shaped his interest in trauma and in helping people reconnect with purpose after difficult experiences. He also provides services for veterans through the Veterans Affairs system. Christopher uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs.
He draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and from dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Sessions are offered through several online formats, and he seeks to build a warm, nonjudgmental space in every conversation.
The focus is on collaboration: setting clear goals, trying practical tools between sessions, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. People who want help with communication problems, codependency, parenting stress, midlife transitions, or substance concerns often find the mix of practical skills and values work useful.
Christopher aims to help clients move from stuck patterns toward the changes they want to make.

Online support
Online approaches that emphasize skills and healing
Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult feelings are present. EMDR is used to process distressing memories through structured phases that can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.Finding the best approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, comfort, and progress. Together they try approaches, track results, and adjust the plan so the work fits the client's needs and pace.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels better, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on steady progress.
