About Emma
Emma Henderschedt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship strain, anger, and life changes. Emma supports adults and young people who need practical ways to manage intense feelings and everyday conflict.
She focuses on approaches that look at how relationships shape behavior. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She also offers tools to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions such as anger, and cope with panic or mood shifts.
Emma brings clinical experience from a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center. That work involved treating a range of mental health concerns and using evidence-based methods with young people and adults. Her background includes work with attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family stress.
Her sessions tend to combine conversation with practical skills training. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness exercises to steady attention. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates EMDR when appropriate and when a client and therapist agree it fits the work.
People who come to see Emma often want concrete strategies to reduce reactivity, repair relationships, and handle parenting and family stress. She asks about goals, builds a plan with the client, and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Emma uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger. CBT involves straightforward exercises and short skills practice that adapt well to remote sessions and to short check-ins during a busy week.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships influence reactions. This approach is conversational and helps people map patterns in how they relate to others, which can reduce reactivity over time.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Emma will talk with each client about goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust the plan as work proceeds. Together they decide whether CBT, attachment work, EMDR, or mindfulness tools are the best fit for the problem at hand.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow brief check-ins between appointments, and let people use exercises from home without commuting. Ask about specific session lengths and whether video or phone is offered when you schedule.
