About Christopher Patchet

Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience in mental health care. He began his career working with homeless veterans, where he found a deep commitment to helping people move toward their goals and stabilize their lives. Over time he completed a degree in social work and earned his LCSW credential, which authorizes him to provide clinical therapy and guide clients through complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

He divides his time between private practice and work with the Veterans Affairs, supporting veterans who are coping with trauma and related issues. Christopher has pursued formal training in several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This range allows him to tailor treatment to concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, ADHD, and parenting stress.

Christopher’s style is warm and non-judgmental, focused on creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. He approaches therapy collaboratively, helping individuals identify barriers and build practical strategies to reach the goals that matter most to them.

Approaches for online therapy and recovery

Christopher integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside client-centered principles to address a wide range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance, giving clients space to explore goals and values at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support whether someone is balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints.
