Christopher Patchet , LCSW

Christopher Patchet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience in mental health care. He began his career working with homeless veterans and developed a strong commitment to helping people identify and reach meaningful goals. After completing a degree in social work, he attained his LCSW credential, which authorizes him to deliver clinical therapy services.

Alongside a private practice, Christopher provides services through the Veterans Affairs, focusing on trauma-related concerns among veteran populations. He has pursued additional formal training to broaden his clinical toolkit, including instruction in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Christopher brings a warm, engaged manner to sessions and strives to create a non-judgmental space where thoughts, feelings, and communication can be explored. He recognizes that seeking help is a difficult step and approaches therapy as a collaborative process aimed at removing barriers and supporting clients as they work toward their goals.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Online therapy can be a practical option for many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, and for those issues it can be comparable to traditional in-person care.

One key benefit is flexibility - clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during life changes.

Licensed professionals deliver care using evidence-based approaches, and clients may change therapists if they seek a different fit. For people weighing whether online therapy is appropriate, considering practical needs, comfort with remote communication, and therapeutic goals can help determine if it is a suitable option.
