About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her work addresses a broad range of life challenges so individuals can move toward clearer goals and more satisfying days. Chana draws first from a person-centered way of working.
Background and approach
She listens closely and helps people feel heard without judgment. From that starting point she and the client figure out what matters most and set practical goals to work toward. Her approach is integrative.
She may use existential ideas to talk about meaning and choice. Attachment-based work looks at how past bonds shape current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior to change, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation.
Chana has over 25 years of counseling experience. Early in her career she worked with people leaving long-term hospital care, then focused on supporting survivors of abuse and neglect. She has assisted people with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, chronic pain, and addiction-related concerns.
In sessions she aims for clear outcomes and practical steps. People leave with a road map to follow between meetings. Prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Online support
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Chana blends Existential Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when clients face major life changes or feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early bonds and how they show up in current relationships; this helps when communication or trust is a concern. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build safety and clarify goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they shape sessions and try techniques that match the issue at hand, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and quick skill reminders. Using these options, people can fit therapy into busy schedules, access regular check-ins, and try different formats to see what helps most.
