About Christopher
Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who helps people manage trauma, addictions, relationship strain, anger, depression, ADHD, and parenting stress. He draws on nine years of work in mental health and a history of supporting veterans and people experiencing homelessness.
Christopher aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental place where people can start talking and make practical changes. He came to therapy work after helping veterans who were homeless and then completed a social work degree and state licensure.
Background and approach
That background shaped his focus on practical goals and steady support. He also works with the Veterans Affairs on trauma-related concerns, which informs how he approaches post-traumatic stress and related mood issues. In sessions he uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs.
He offers cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on acceptance and commitment principles to help people clarify values and move toward meaningful action. Christopher includes dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and interpersonal skills.
He incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, when trauma processing is appropriate. His overall approach favors warm engagement and clear direction rather than long lectures. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and step-by-step planning.
He emphasizes collaboration and sets goals one step at a time. Sessions focus on what helps a person feel and function better in everyday life.

Online support
How EMDR, ACT, and CBT Can Work Online
Christopher uses a few different approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for mood issues, panic, and unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when emotions are strong. That works well for motivation, stress, and life direction. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, when trauma processing fits a person's needs; EMDR targets distressing memories and related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christopher will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend options. He treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts course based on what is helpful in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and interactive tools during skill work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
