About Christopher
Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. He has nine years of experience in mental health and focuses on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, anger, depression, parenting stress, self-esteem, and ADHD. He initially began working with homeless veterans and kept supporting veteran-related issues while expanding into independent practice.
That early work shaped his interest in trauma and in helping people set and reach realistic goals.
How Christopher works
He also helps with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and substance use concerns. His approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods. Christopher uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered techniques.
Sessions often include identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and working toward values-based goals. Clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental space to talk through thoughts and feelings. He prioritizes listening first, then works with each person to build steps that fit their life.
The tone in sessions is direct but supportive, with an emphasis on small, manageable changes. Christopher works with people on mood disorders, panic and anxiety, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective concerns, and life transitions like midlife shifts. He brings practical tools and steady support to help people reduce overwhelm and move toward clearer purpose and better daily functioning.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Christopher commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing along with Client-Centered techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for mood, anxiety, and persistent worries. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the person's lead and provides steady support.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then recommend one or a mix of methods. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused communications. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
