About Chaim
Chaim Henderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. He draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for busy families and individuals.
Chaim uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's strengths. He helps clients build coping skills and improve emotional regulation. Conversations include clear, teachable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
In sessions he often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel unsure where to start. Mindfulness-based ideas are introduced to help reduce reactivity and improve focus.
He has experience supporting people through transitions like school stress, career changes, and relationship shifts. He also works with problems related to substance use, impulsivity, and recovery planning. Chaim offers practical skills for managing cravings, preventing relapse, and improving decision-making.
Chaim also addresses relationship concerns such as communication problems, commitment questions, blended family issues, and boundary-setting. He can talk about sexual health topics including BDSM and kink from a nonjudgmental standpoint. Sessions include education, skills practice, and step-by-step planning.
Overall, Chaim aims to create a steady, supportive space where people learn tools they can use the next day. He recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to see if the approach feels like a fit.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Chaim commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and avoidance. CBT helps identify thought patterns that keep problems going and introduces small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build confidence.He approaches online work collaboratively. Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client figure out together based on goals and preferences. Early sessions often include a short plan and simple experiments to test whether the approach feels helpful.
Please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that support consistency. Some people find video helpful for practicing skills, while others prefer a shorter audio check-in during a break. Chaim uses these methods to help clients apply skills between sessions and track progress over time.
