Henry Palmer III (Chip), LCSW

Henry Palmer III (Chip) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. He works with adults who struggle with anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship strain, and other life disruptions.

Chip focuses on how repeated high-risk decisions and patterns of behavior lead to legal, medical, or interpersonal problems. He takes a solution-oriented approach that looks at the context around choices and habits. Sessions include practical problem solving rather than long theoretical explanations.

His work often incorporates mindfulness exercises to increase awareness of urges and impulses. He also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify what a person wants to change and how to begin. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques appear in his approach for building emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills.

He has extensive experience supporting people with alcohol and drug problems and with co-occurring mental health conditions. Chip also draws on long-term recovery in his own life as one influence on how he supports others facing similar challenges.

In session he explores alternative ways to solve problems using tools such as paradox, metaphor, and contingency management. That practical orientation is aimed at reducing repeated harmful choices and helping people build clearer strategies for everyday situations.

People meet him to work on anger, impulsivity, decision-making, family of origin issues, and coping with major life changes. He asks clients to identify concrete goals and then works step by step toward those goals.
