Henry Palmer III (Chip)

Henry Palmer III (Chip) helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and major life or career changes. He brings three decades of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Chip aims to help people untangle repeated patterns and find workable next steps for better day-to-day functioning.

He focuses on what led to risky choices and the consequences that followed. Sessions look at the context around decisions and habitual reactions. Chip uses mindfulness, metaphor, and contingency ideas to test new ways of coping and problem solving.

His background includes long experience with alcohol and drug problems and with people who have overlapping mental health and psychiatric issues. He also draws on his own long-term recovery experience as part of his perspective with clients. That personal history informs his approach without overriding the work clients bring.

Chip’s style is practical and collaborative. He listens first and then helps people build small, concrete changes. He uses methods that encourage noticing what happens in the moment and trying different responses to old patterns.

People come for coaching, help with relationships, career concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and intimacy issues, bipolar and mood management, anger, or coping with loss. He also addresses specialty areas such as first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and family of origin themes.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people identify their own goals and solutions. This approach can help with stress, self-esteem, relationship worries, and career decisions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal interactions. It uses practices like mindfulness and skill rehearsal to reduce impulsive reactions and improve coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one method for several sessions and adjusting as progress and priorities become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, check in during a work break, or do a shorter phone-based update when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and daily demands so sessions support real changes without adding logistical strain.
