Henry Palmer III (Chip)

Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing big life shifts and the fallout from risky decisions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career strain, and coping with life changes. Chip is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with three decades of practice in North Carolina.

Chip takes a practical, solution-focused approach. He looks at the decisions and patterns that led to current problems and works with clients to try different ways of handling them. Sessions often include mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and straightforward problem-solving tools.

His practice pays particular attention to substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. He draws on long-term recovery in his own life when supporting people with alcohol and drug issues. That experience informs how he talks about relapse, harm reduction, and rebuilding routines.

Chip also works with people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. He uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. Existential ideas are brought in when people want to make sense of loss or major transitions.

Conversations are direct but respectful, focused on finding what helps in daily life. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment; it helps people feel heard and decide their own path forward. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving relationships. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit practical needs and adjust them over time based on what helps.

For practical matters like scheduling and how sessions are run, confirm the current options before booking since the biography does not list specific session formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also allows consistent work on skills such as mindfulness and DBT techniques between sessions, so tools learned in therapy can be practiced in everyday life.
