About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and related problems. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, intimacy, and career concerns.
Her first sessions focus on listening and getting to know the person. She uses a client-centered way of working, asking about goals and what the person wants to change. From there she and the client decide which techniques to try and how to move forward.
Hersh’s background began in community and hospital settings, working with people who had severe and persistent mental illness. She later shifted to supporting people affected by abuse and neglect, and has experience with trauma, chronic pain, phobias, substance concerns, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation or self-harm risk.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods rather than a single model. She often combines attachment-focused thinking, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential perspectives, and client-centered listening to meet specific goals. Sessions aim to identify concrete steps and coping tools.
People who choose her typically work toward clear outcomes set together at the start. She asks practical questions, tracks progress, and adjusts methods as needed. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want from counseling before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current trust and bonding. Online sessions using this lens often focus on noticing interaction patterns, exploring attachment history, and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and the client's own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they share, and helps them clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, phobias, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Finding the right mix is something that develops over the first few sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit counseling into daily life - they can be easier to attend around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to maintain continuity between appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals work with clients to make the sessions practical and focused on the goals they set together.Areas of expertise
