About Chad
Chad Petrulis is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing anxiety and everyday stress. He writes short, direct plans with each person and listens for what matters most. Chad aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful.
Chad brings four years of experience working with people who are managing family strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. He often helps with relationship tension, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and self-esteem issues.
Background and approach
He also supports people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the isolation that can come with major life shifts. His approach is straightforward and tailored. Conversations and treatment plans are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Chad pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care when those topics come up. He is licensed as an LCSW in Montana and also holds licensure in Nevada. Chad works in English and accepts international clients for online sessions.
Practical matters like scheduling and session format are made clear from the start. Chad offers a mix of brief check-ins and longer therapy conversations. He helps people break concerns into small steps and builds tools for coping with stress, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support through change.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Chad uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and stress through structured exercises and behavioral strategies to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes exploring family patterns and attachment concerns to understand how relationships affect mood and behavior, helping people make different choices in their interactions. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Chad works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. He adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what doesn’t. Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a lighter option that needs less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across time zones and schedules.Questions people ask
