First of all, go to your custom theme app/desing/frontend/{Vendor}/{theme}/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml file.

There you will find the below with the links you mentioned, just add the part below for your chat

    <referenceContainer name="header.panel">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Links" name="top.links">
....

                 <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="my-link1">
                    <arguments>
                        <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Chat</argument>
                        <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">Your_Link_To_The_Chat</argument>
                    </arguments>
                </block>                   
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
