About Henry
Henry "Jay" Swedlaw is a licensed professional counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work. He practices as an LPCC and an LCMHC and is based in Texas. Jay focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and questions about identity and self-worth.
He frames sessions around practical steps and conversational clarity. Jay listens first, then helps clients name what matters most and try small, workable changes. His style is direct but warm, with attention to everyday problems like sleep, work stress, and body image.
Jay often uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and narrative methods to reframe past struggles and build values-driven action. Sessions usually combine short exercises with time to talk through current difficulties.
Common concerns he addresses include depression, addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. He also supports people working through gender questions, sexual expression, and relationship transitions. Jay works with those facing career stress, money worries, parenting strain, and emotional burnout.
Therapy with Jay is collaborative and goal-oriented. He helps clients set clear steps, track progress, and adjust methods when something isn’t working. Sessions can be conversational, skills-based, or a mix tailored to each person’s needs.
