About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and ADHD. She also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, and life transitions.
Hersh begins by listening and getting to know each person. She uses a client-centered way of meeting people, then adds techniques that fit the person’s goals. Sessions are practical and focused on clear outcomes the client wants to reach.
Her early work was with people who had severe and persistent mental illness, helping many move from hospital care back into their communities. She later focused on supporting people who experienced physical, sexual, or family violence, along with related issues such as post-traumatic stress and suicidal ideation. That background informs how she responds to crisis and complex needs.
Hersh blends methods from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and client-centered practice. She may include techniques from gestalt and family systems as they relate to an individual’s goals. The emphasis is on following the person’s lead while offering tools to manage symptoms and improve relationships.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Hersh offers services in English and does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How attachment, CBT, and client-centered work translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can help people notice how early bonds influence current family and partner interactions and practice different ways of relating.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what the person brings. In remote sessions this looks like careful conversation, reflective listening, and shaping goals together so sessions stay relevant to daily life and parenting demands.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short skills practice between sessions, straightforward exercises, and concrete ways to test new behaviors at home.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for brief check-ins, and make it simpler to do homework or practice skills between visits. The focus is on useful techniques that fit everyday life rather than on a single method.
