About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and a wide range of other concerns. She has 25 years of experience in counseling and takes a steady, person-focused approach to therapy. She begins by listening closely and getting to know the person.
Sessions aim to build trust and a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about their life.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set clear goals and a practical plan to work toward them. Hersh uses methods drawn from client-centered and attachment-based work, and she commonly employs cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical skills to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also brings existential ideas when people are facing big life questions or losses.
EMDR is part of the approaches she lists for trauma-related work. Her background includes long-term work with people who lived with serious mental illness and later a focused practice helping survivors of abuse and neglect. Over the years she has counseled people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, eating concerns, chronic pain, and relationship and family difficulties.
Her sessions balance practical techniques with steady emotional support. Clients and therapist agree on concrete outcomes and a roadmap to reach them. The work is collaborative, paced to the person's needs, and grounded in her decades of experience.

Online support
Approaches that fit online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. Online sessions let people talk through attachment patterns and practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries in relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and values active listening and acceptance. In remote sessions this approach creates a steady, empathic space where clients can name goals and explore what matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges and translates well to video or phone work where homework and skill practice are assigned between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will adjust methods over time if something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, homework support, and options for people who prefer written communication. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
