About Sarah

Sarah Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career questions, anger, and major life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life problems.

She helps people who feel isolated or stuck. That includes those struggling with panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and impulsivity. She also supports concerns tied to money, workplace stress, caregiving burdens, chronic illness or pain, and figuring out life purpose.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Conversations aim to identify manageable next steps. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are used to change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.

Sarah uses emotionally-focused and motivational interviewing methods when exploring relationships and decisions. These approaches help people clarify values and increase motivation for change. Sessions balance practical strategies with attention to feelings and relationships.

People can expect a clear, down-to-earth approach. Work is paced to each person’s needs and daily demands. The goal is to build skills that carry into work, family, and community life.

BHow sessions work

How Sarah uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and works at the client’s pace to find what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and changes unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and workplace or money-related worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive reactions. It often helps with anger, mood swings, and self-directed behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on progress and everyday demands.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, take a shorter check-in during a break, or reduce travel time. These practical benefits help integrate therapy into a busy life without promising a specific format.
