About Henry
Henry "Jay" Swedlaw is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and practices from Texas while working with people across state lines and internationally. Jay focuses on clear, direct help for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, and other everyday struggles.
He keeps sessions practical and grounded. Jay listens first, then helps people break big problems into steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He blends straightforward strategies with attention to values and meaning so people can make choices that fit their lives. Jay often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches help with symptoms like anxiety or depression and with changing unhelpful habits that get in the way of goals.
He also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe experiences and build short-term plans. Clients come for many concerns including addiction, grief, intimacy and sexual diversity issues, body image, ADHD, trauma, and career stress. Jay pays attention to how life circumstances shape behavior and helps people find practical coping tactics and clearer communication skills.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. New people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Jay aims to work collaboratively so each plan fits the person's needs and daily life.

How practical approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and navigating life changes by focusing on action rather than symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness so people can notice automatic reactions and choose responses that align with their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted to the person's needs, pace, and preferences rather than applied in the same way for everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try brief reflections between sessions, and keep momentum without full-length meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
