About Henry
Henry Palmer III (Chip) is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and depression. He also supports people working on relationships, intimacy, career concerns, and issues related to self-esteem. Chip often works with men and others focused on practical change and recovery. He draws on lived experience in long-term recovery to inform his work.
Chip uses straightforward, solution-focused methods in sessions. He helps people look at the choices they have been making and the patterns behind them. Together they map out alternative problem-solving steps that are realistic and repeatable. Sessions often include mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage strong emotions and impulsivity.
His background includes many years working with alcohol and drug concerns and with people who have co-occurring mental health issues. That practical experience shapes how he talks about relapse risk, coping skills, and contingency planning. He also brings experience supporting people through grief, loss, and major life transitions.
Chip describes his approach as focused and direct while staying respectful of each person’s values and choices. He uses metaphor and paradox at times to shift perspective and spark insight. People who want clear steps and tools often find this style helpful.
Chip holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching and scheduling steps.
How Chip Uses Therapy Tools Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard while they name goals and decide what changes matter most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. It can be useful for anger, addiction struggles, and improving emotional stability. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum for recovery.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chip will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in on what’s working and adjusting methods over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed.
