About Christopher

Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who focuses on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, anger, depression, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, he draws on work with veterans and people experiencing homelessness to shape a practical, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes recovery and real-world problem solving. His style centers on warm engagement and a non-judgmental presence that invites honest conversation.

Christopher uses evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. He aims to collaborate with each person to identify realistic goals and develop skills for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and clearer life direction.

Clients can expect a therapist who values ongoing learning and adapts techniques to individual needs. Christopher accepts international clients, conducts sessions in English, and blends clinical training with lived experience supporting veterans to create a practical, empathetic space for change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Christopher incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for mood, anxiety, and behavior change. He also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma work is appropriate to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used to clarify values and develop psychological flexibility when people are struggling with avoidance or life direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to treatment and adapt methods over time so the plan fits each person's needs rather than forcing a single model from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats support continuity of care, flexible scheduling, and ongoing skills practice between sessions while enabling licensed professionals to provide tailored evidence-informed treatment across distances.
