About Henry

Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience and offers practical, down-to-earth support for people coping with life changes and difficult decisions. Chip focuses on what is happening now and how choices have shaped current problems.

He listens without judgment and helps people spot repeating patterns that lead to trouble. Conversations aim to find concrete alternatives and clearer next steps.

Background and approach

He draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and existential ideas to help people reflect on values and purpose while learning better ways to manage urges and emotions. Chip also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

His background includes long experience with alcohol and drug issues and with people who face co-occurring mental health and psychiatric challenges. His own long-term recovery informs how he approaches relapse prevention and change planning. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.

People can expect help with problem solving, managing cravings or anger, repairing important relationships, and coping with loss or career shifts. Chip aims to help people move from decision patterns that no longer work toward more hopeful choices.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people look at the big questions that underlie distress - meaning, choice, and responsibility. In short online conversations this can help someone clarify values, make different decisions, and cope with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so people can explore their feelings and arrive at their own solutions. This approach supports people working through grief, relationship strain, or low self-esteem.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills work well for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and handling addiction cravings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to find the best combination of skills and reflection.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session and visual cues. Phone calls can fit a break at work or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people touch base between sessions or use written check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
