About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, career uncertainty, and major life changes. Sarah also focuses on life purpose questions and the practical struggles that follow big transitions.
Her sessions are collaborative and person-centered. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them name priorities. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, focusing on small steps that can change how someone feels day to day.
Sarah uses several well-known approaches in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are combined with Motivational Interviewing and client-centered methods when helpful. She draws on these approaches to reduce overwhelm, manage panic and obsessive thoughts, and rebuild clearer routines around work and relationships.
She often works with people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, workplace problems, money worries, social anxiety, and isolation. Young adults questioning career or purpose are another common focus. Sessions aim to improve communication, manage impulsivity, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Practical tools, skill practice, and short-term problem solving are part of the process. Sarah encourages honest feedback about what helps and adjusts plans as needed. To begin, readers are invited to use the site's matching steps to schedule an initial session.
How Sarah blends approaches for remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them identify goals and next steps. It is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. It works well for specific symptoms and for changing patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through practical exercises and coaching, which can help with impulsivity, strong anger, and relationship strain.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning is revisited as progress is made and problems evolve.
