About Chad
Chad Petrulis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on everyday stresses that affect family life, parenting, relationships, grief, and changes that come with major life transitions. He also works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Chad aims for straightforward conversation about the problems people bring. He listens for how family patterns, past losses, and life demands are showing up now. He often helps people untangle relationship friction, manage strong emotions, and plan practical next steps for parenting or household stress.
When someone is dealing with attention differences, developmental issues, or questions about identity and belonging, he lays out options and helps people try small changes to see what helps most. Work and family schedules are considered when planning sessions and goals.
He views a first session as a chance to identify immediate priorities and agree on a plan that fits daily life. Chad adapts the conversation to match each person's pace and needs while keeping the focus on workable strategies.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches shape remote sessions
Chad works from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behavior, and problem-solving. Cognitive approaches involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to see if mood and reactions improve; these methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and worry about parenting or work. Behavioral and skills-based strategies target routines, boundaries, and actions people can try between sessions to reduce stress and manage impulsivity or anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chad treats that as a collaborative process - he will talk with each person about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are involved in choosing which techniques to keep or modify over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making shorter check-ins possible during a workday or evening. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue support when life changes interfere with in-person visits. If you want to know how a session would fit your routine, mention typical days and times when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
