01About Henry
Henry "Jay" Swedlaw is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and practices from Texas. Jay focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life transitions.

Sessions cover practical skills for coping, managing mood, and improving communication. He also addresses harder topics like trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Jay uses a mix of evidence-informed techniques to meet each person's needs. He draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance work help people manage difficult feelings in the moment.
Narrative and solution-focused methods are woven into sessions to clarify values and set achievable goals. That approach helps people move through codependency, body-image struggles, and sexual or relationship questions. He also supports work on addictive behaviors and impulsivity, including concerns around substance use and sexual behavior.
Clients will find concrete tools they can try between sessions. Jay aims to make therapy straightforward and actionable. He helps people build routines for better sleep, eating, and daily coping, along with guidance around career stress, money worries, and parenting strain.
People who want a practical, direct therapist who listens will often fit well with his style. He offers services in English and is available to international clients through online formats.

04Online support
How Jay’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is helpful for mood disorders, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Jay will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions typically include practice exercises and personalized homework so clients can test what helps between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for regular work.
