About Henry
Henry Palmer III (Chip) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, career questions, and other life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on what to do next rather than long theory talks.
Chip concentrates on decisions that have led to legal, medical, or interpersonal problems. He helps people look at the context around repeated high-risk choices and the patterns that keep them happening. His own experience in long-term recovery informs how he talks about substance use and relapse prevention.
In the room he uses straightforward, solution-oriented methods. That includes client-centered listening, motivational interviewing to clarify next steps, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. He also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential thinking when they fit the client's needs.
Clients can expect short-term goals alongside exploration of deeper patterns. Sessions may use metaphors, paradox, and contingency planning to try different problem-solving options. The approach emphasizes practical skills for managing strong feelings and impulsive choices.
Chip has worked with people dealing with co-occurring mental health and psychiatric issues, as well as those navigating family-of-origin problems, first responder stress, and end-of-life concerns. He encourages clear steps and realistic plans that can be tried between sessions.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Chip draws on client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people identify what matters and decide next steps. Dialectical behavior therapy includes skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which many people use to reduce impulsive reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice and step back from strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to figure out which methods suit their needs and goals. That could mean starting with motivational interviewing to set small goals, then adding mindfulness or DBT skills if those prove useful.
The practical benefits of remote sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit a session into a lunch break, use less travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so clients learn concrete skills and test new ways of responding between sessions.
