01About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 25 years of experience. Her work also covers parenting concerns, sleep and eating struggles, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She begins by listening. Sessions focus on getting to know the person and what they most want to change. Chana uses a person-centered approach to build trust and to make room for honest, sometimes difficult conversation.
Background and approach
From there she and the client choose concrete steps toward agreed goals. Her background includes long-term work with people who had severe and persistent mental illness and later a focus on those affected by abuse and neglect. She has experience offering crisis support and ongoing therapy for depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, chronic pain, substance and sexual addictions, and eating disorders.
Chana draws on several therapy methods when helpful, including attachment-based ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, existential questions about meaning, and client-centered care. She tailors these approaches to the person rather than following a single formula. In practical terms, Chana helps people set clear outcomes and a road map to reach them.
Many clients work on reducing symptoms, improving relationships, coping with life changes, or building new habits. The work aims to leave people feeling more understood and better able to move forward.

04Online support
Online approaches that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now and can help with trust, intimacy, and communication struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are, creating space to name goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That way the approach matches needs, preferences, and what actually helps in real life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around daily routines and responsibilities.
