About Christopher
Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing addiction, trauma, mood problems, parenting stress, relationship struggles, anger, and attention challenges. He brings nine years of mental health experience to his work and offers a straightforward, warm approach for people looking for practical support.
He began his career supporting homeless veterans and later completed a degree in social work and the LCSW credential.
Background and approach
That background led him to work with veteran-related trauma while continuing to expand his clinical knowledge across several therapies. In sessions he aims to build a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings. He focuses on clear goals and works collaboratively to break problems into manageable steps.
Conversations blend practical skills with chances to process difficult memories and strong emotions. Christopher uses methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement approaches when they fit a person’s goals. He tailors tools to the problem at hand, whether the priority is managing anxiety, reducing substance use, improving communication, or handling parenting strain.
People who prefer flexible contact options can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He speaks English and accepts international clients when the arrangement fits, and sessions are scheduled through the site’s matching and scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Christopher commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning simple skills to act on those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective choices to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when emotion regulation and strong reactions are central concerns. DBT skills teach practical strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without making things worse. Together these approaches give a mix of values-based work, skill building, and memory processing options as appropriate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Changes are paced to what feels manageable and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is good for longer conversations and skill teaching, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing processing between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
