Christopher Patchet, LCSW - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Christopher

Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. He focuses on issues like addictions, trauma, depression, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and parenting concerns. He has nine years of experience in mental health and brings a calm, approachable presence to sessions.

He began his career working with homeless veterans and later completed a degree in social work and earned his LCSW. That early work shaped his interest in trauma and veteran-related concerns and led him to continue supporting that population in other settings.

Background and approach

He combines that background with years of ongoing training in several therapy methods. In sessions he uses a warm, non-judgmental style. He aims to create a space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings without pressure.

He talks plainly and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Christopher uses techniques drawn from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. He adapts these tools to each person’s needs and focuses on practical skills people can use outside sessions.

Parents and caregivers who are worried about mood, behavior, or addiction issues may find his straightforward approach helpful. He emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. The work starts by identifying priorities and building simple, usable strategies.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small steps clients can practice between sessions.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT can be useful when strong emotions or repeated patterns get in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video sessions let people meet face to face from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice skills in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
