Chana Rivka Hersh, LPC

Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She brings 25 years of counseling experience and focuses on practical steps that move clients toward clearer goals and daily relief. She aims to create a time and place where people can talk openly and be themselves without judgment.

Her style is person-centered at the start of therapy. She listens first and helps clients name what they want to change. From there she tailors the plan to the person, using techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral approaches, attachment work, dialectical skills, and existential ideas as needed. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and comfort.

Her background includes long-term work with people who experienced severe mental illness and those affected by abuse and neglect. She has supported individuals through depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, substance and sexual addictions, eating concerns, and complex relationship problems. That experience guides a steady, outcome-focused approach.

People who come for help often leave with clearer steps and a roadmap for change. Hersh emphasizes measurable goals and checks progress along the way. She also offers support around caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and life transitions.

To begin, she helps clients set goals and chooses techniques that fit each person. The process is collaborative and practical, aiming to restore daily functioning and a greater sense of purpose.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds shape present reactions; it can be useful for relationship strains and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so the person sets the pace and topics; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to sort out goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test what fits best, adapting methods to meet goals and comfort. That means trying techniques, checking results, and shifting course as needed rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work and caregiving by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it easier to schedule during a break. A collaborative selection of methods and practical scheduling can make therapy more manageable in everyday life.
