About Henry

Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and difficulty with life changes. He draws on three decades of clinical experience to offer practical strategies and steady support. Chip uses clear, direct talk and a range of methods to help people move past stuck patterns.

He focuses on understanding the choices that led to current problems. Sessions look at how habits formed and what keeps them repeating.

Background and approach

He works with mindfulness, problem-solving, and motivational techniques to find doable alternatives. Chip brings long-term recovery experience into his work, and that personal perspective shapes his approach to addiction and co-occurring concerns. He also addresses anger, impulsivity, isolation, and issues tied to family of origin or relationship patterns.

Expect straightforward goals and steps you can try between sessions. His style is solution-oriented but respectful. He blends Client-Centered listening with tools drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing.

That mix helps people learn new ways to cope and to make different choices when under stress. Chip holds an LCSW which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in a variety of formats to fit different needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches applied online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people clarify what matters to them; online sessions use that same respectful listening to set personal goals and explore choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; those skills can be practiced in video or text sessions and reinforced between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build commitment step by step, which works well for addiction, ambivalence, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based DBT tool for emotion regulation, then shifting to motivational strategies for substance use, or combining client-centered conversations with mindfulness practice.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing accountability, and quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
