Chana Rivka Hersh , LPC

Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges. She draws on 25 years of clinical experience to listen, support, and help clients set clear goals for change.

Her style is warm and person-centered. Early sessions focus on getting to know each person and building trust. From that place she and the client decide what to work on and how to proceed.

Chana uses an integrative approach that blends methods to fit a person’s needs. She commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. She also draws on existential themes when people face big life questions or transitions.

Her practice includes work with trauma, addictions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around body image and sexual identity. She has long experience offering both crisis counseling and longer-term therapy aimed at measurable outcomes.

Clients can expect practical conversations that identify steps forward. Chana helps people build skills, try new ways of coping, and track progress toward goals. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and designs sessions around each person’s priorities and comfort.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can explore those patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners or family members. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and support, helping people feel heard while they name goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors, which can be taught and practiced during video or phone sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative process can include trying techniques and adjusting them over time to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when connections are limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or tracking progress between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity during life changes.
