He has worked in community mental health settings and with programs serving people with substance use and other complex needs.

How his approaches work online

Hershel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it focuses on small, testable changes people can try between sessions.

He also brings an existential perspective that looks at values, meaning, and life direction. That approach helps when someone feels empty, stuck in a midlife shift, or unsure about purpose. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way he listens - the person’s own goals and experience shape the work rather than a preset plan.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then tailor techniques in a collaborative way. The plan can shift as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you have face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can fit a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
