About Chana

Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Background and approach

With a focus on helping clients clarify goals and build practical strategies, she emphasizes an individualized, client-led process that respects each person’s experience and values. Her style blends person-centered listening with structured techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies, attachment-focused work, and existential perspectives.

Hersh draws on 25 years of clinical experience and a graduate degree in Community Counseling from Texas State University, pairing skills developed in community mental health and hospital settings with long-term practice helping survivors of abuse and people with complex diagnoses.

She has supported clients with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, substance and sexual addictions, and eating disorders, offering both crisis intervention and ongoing therapy. Sessions aim to create a nonjudgmental space to set clear outcomes and a practical road map toward them.

Hersh encourages collaborative planning so clients can track progress, build coping skills, and move toward the life they want at a pace that fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Chana Rivka Hersh draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. She also incorporates attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, which can be useful for intimacy, relationship, and self-esteem concerns. These approaches are applied in a collaborative, client-led way so techniques match each person’s goals and comfort level.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hersh works together with clients to assess needs, try methods that fit their concerns, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer. Clients are invited to define measurable outcomes and review them over time so the therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from where they live in Texas.
