About Henry

Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and major life changes. He draws on three decades of clinical work to support people struggling with relationship strain, family issues, intimacy concerns, and career or identity questions. Chip uses a practical, focused style in sessions.

He listens first, then helps people spot the patterns that keep causing problems. Together they try new ways of responding and problem-solving that fit the person’s life and goals.

Background and approach

He has long experience with drug and alcohol addiction and with co-occurring mental health concerns. His own years in recovery shape how he talks about relapse, motivation, and building daily routines that reduce harm and increase stability. In therapy he mixes client-centered listening with skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices.

He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and existential ideas to clarify what matters most to them. Chip holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

He works with adults on issues such as trauma, compulsive behaviors, eating and anger problems, and coping with loss. The first step is a brief questionnaire to match needs and schedule a session. From there he and the client set clear, realistic steps to move forward one day at a time.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead, reflect concerns back, and help clarify goals and values in a conversational way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; these skill-building exercises adapt well to video or text check-ins and short practice between sessions. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can be practiced during phone or video sessions and reinforced through brief reminders via messaging.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily life. If one approach doesn’t fit, they will try others or combine techniques until the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, get short coaching prompts, or track progress without scheduling a full meeting. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on steady, goal-oriented progress.
