About Henry
Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. He is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of clinical experience in North Carolina. Chip keeps language direct and practical so a worried parent can quickly grasp what to expect.
He focuses on what people are doing now that keeps problems going. Sessions look at choices, patterns, and the situations that make them repeat.
How Henry works
He brings his own long-term recovery experience to work on substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. Chip uses straightforward tools to try out new ways of coping. Some work involves learning mindfulness skills to calm intense feelings.
Other work uses problem-solving and motivational interviewing to set and reach goals. When trauma, loss, or major life changes are involved, he helps people make sense of what happened and find practical next steps. He also supports those dealing with addiction, impulsivity, or career and self-worth concerns.
The aim is clearer thinking and better choices in daily life. Sessions may include short skills practice, discussion of recent decisions, and planning small experiments to test new behaviors. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect.
Getting started involves a short online questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. It focuses on the person's goals and priorities and helps with feelings like depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches clear skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; it is useful for impulsivity, anger, and self-destructive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce anxiety and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Then he and the client will try approaches that fit best, adjusting as progress is made in sessions.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people have a fuller conversation and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
