Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Anger and Family concerns

  • Family conflict
  • Parenting strain
  • Anger management

About Chad

Chad Petrulis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana with four years of experience. He works with adults who are coping with family stress, parenting strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and problems with anger. He also supports people dealing with addictions, attention difficulties, and the ripple effects of adoption, attachment, and family-of-origin issues.

Chad tends to focus on clear, practical conversation in sessions. He listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people name patterns that lead to angry outbursts or ongoing resentment. He uses straightforward tools and steps so people can try different ways of responding between meetings.

He has a stated interest in helping teens and people with developmental disabilities, and he draws on experience working with family conflicts and life stressors. Chad adapts discussions and plans so they fit each person’s situation. He practices with respect and sensitivity while keeping the work direct and usable.

Sessions aim to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. For someone upset about parenting challenges, work frustration, or repeated arguments at home, he helps identify triggers, practice alternatives, and build clearer boundaries. He also offers support for grief, compassion fatigue, and finding purpose after change.

Chad accepts English-speaking clients and works with people who live in other countries as well. Before booking, confirm current session options and the subscription-based fee structure, which can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Chad describes his work as practical and evidence-based. He focuses on approaches that identify patterns and replace unhelpful reactions with clearer actions. One common approach helps people track what happens just before an angry response and then rehearses alternative reactions in session so new habits can form. Another approach focuses on building clearer boundaries and communication skills to reduce repeated conflict and resentment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chad will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, life demands, and how they prefer to work. He adjusts the plan as progress is made and as daily stresses change, so the therapy stays relevant and doable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy routine, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to help people practice new skills in real life between appointments, while keeping the scheduling flexible to suit work and family commitments.
