Therapeutic Approaches Offered Online

Christopher Patchet uses several evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and build practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsive behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms by processing upsetting experiences in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and he tailors methods or combines techniques to fit each person. This collaborative process helps determine which strategies will be the most helpful at different stages of treatment.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care more accessible. Sessions by video or phone allow for real-time, face-to-face work, while live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing communication, skill practice, and check-ins between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
