Sarah Henderson

Sarah Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and major life changes. She works with those dealing with depression, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Her language is direct and practical, aimed at people who need clear support and simple steps forward.

Sarah uses a collaborative, person-centered style. She listens first and then helps clients decide what to try next. Sessions focus on real-life skills like clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Her approach draws on several established methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense feelings. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change and emotionally-focused work to strengthen how they relate to themselves and others.

Sarah has five years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. She supports people coping with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, workplace challenges, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and loneliness. Young adults and people questioning their life purpose are also common reasons clients reach out.

Sessions are intended to be practical and paced to each person's needs. Sarah aims to help people build coping skills they can use between meetings and to make steady, manageable progress toward clearer goals.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports decisions that feel right for the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. The choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make attendance easier by fitting sessions into a busy week, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and removing travel time. It also lets people try methods like CBT homework, emotion regulation practice, and motivational conversations in the context of their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and pacing to work well over distance while helping clients apply skills between sessions.
