About Chad
Chad Petrulis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with four years of experience. He works with adults facing family and parenting stresses, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Chad helps people sort through family conflict, blended household challenges, and co-parenting tensions. He often addresses issues like fatherhood concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and isolation.
In sessions he focuses on direct conversation and practical steps. He adapts the dialogue to each person's situation and makes a simple plan to try between meetings. The aim is to find what works day to day rather than use confusing jargon.
Chad has a particular interest in supporting teens and people with developmental differences, and he brings that focus into how he talks about routines, expectations, and communication. He also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, and addictive behaviors.
He notes that starting therapy can feel difficult and recognizes that taking that first step matters. To get started, readers are directed to the online options where a short questionnaire leads to scheduling a first session. Payments use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Chad uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on problem-solving and behavioral adjustments, helping people change routines and reactions that cause stress or conflict. This method is useful for parenting challenges, impulsivity, and daily coping with ADHD symptoms.Another approach addresses relationships and attachment patterns by looking at how past experiences shape current reactions. It helps clarify difficult dynamics that turn up in blended households, such as loyalty conflicts or boundaries with ex-partners. This kind of work aims to improve communication and reduce repeated patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chad works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts plans as progress is made. The client and therapist make those decisions together rather than sticking to a single technique.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and easing travel or time constraints. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to check in between life events, handle brief coaching-style meetings, or set up regular weekly sessions that slot into work or parenting routines.
