About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with a wide range of problems including anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, career stress, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
Hersh begins by listening closely and getting to know each person. She uses a client-centered approach to identify what someone wants to change and what goals matter to them. From there she combines techniques that fit the individual, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools, attachment work, existential ideas, and elements from dialectical behavior strategies.
Her early career included work with people who had severe and persistent mental illness, helping many move from hospital care into community living. That experience deepened her focus on trauma and abuse, and she has since worked with survivors of physical and sexual abuse, family violence, and related issues. She has also counseled people with phobias, chronic pain, suicidal ideation or self-harm history, and eating and sexual addictions.
In sessions she helps people set clear, measurable outcomes and a practical road map to reach them. She uses conversational, goal-oriented work alongside skills practice when needed. That mix aims to reduce symptoms and build everyday strategies for handling anger, stress, and relationship strain.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the client's lead while keeping attention on agreed goals. Prospective clients can choose an online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chana Rivka Hersh uses client-centered therapy to start by listening and clarifying what the person wants to change. This approach focuses on the person's goals and experience, which helps shape practical steps for managing anger and relationship strain.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach concrete skills for responding differently. CBT is useful for worry, anger outbursts, and sleep or eating issues related to stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand in her work. It looks at how early relationships affect current reactions and helps people build more stable patterns in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss methods and decide with the client which tools fit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, fit sessions into a workday, and use worksheets or skills practice between meetings. Therapists in general can adapt CBT and attachment work well to remote sessions, using conversation, coaching, and exercises to practice new ways of responding to anger and stress.
