Chana Rivka Hersh, LPC

Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, codependency, and related challenges.

Hersh begins by listening to what matters most to the client. She uses a client-centered stance to understand goals and what a successful outcome would look like. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps the person can take between meetings.

Her clinical work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.

Across her career she has worked with people coming from institutional settings and later focused on survivors of abuse and neglect. That history informs how she approaches complex trauma, severe depression, anxiety, and substance concerns.

In sessions she combines different methods based on a person's goals and comfort. Clients and therapist set clear outcomes, then track progress toward those targets. Practical tools, communication practice, and coping skills are common components of her work.

Hersh also addresses life transitions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, sexual and intimacy concerns, and issues related to chronic illness. She offers straightforward guidance aimed at increasing daily functioning and clearer boundaries.
