About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, self-esteem concerns, career pressures, and anger. She also addresses related issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, loneliness, and workplace problems.
Sarah uses a practical, conversational approach in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the person and to make space for their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools are needed.
Expect a collaborative style where the client and Sarah agree on what to work on. Sessions often include concrete skills, homework exercises, and short behavioral changes to test between meetings. The aim is clearer thinking and more reliable ways to respond when stress or anger rises.
Sarah helps people who feel stuck after big life changes or who want steadier reactions at work or at home. She also supports those dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, money worries, and questions about life purpose. Her focus includes communication skills and building self-directed coping strategies.
People meet her to sort immediate problems and to learn tools they can use day to day. She asks practical questions, sets steps that fit into the client's life, and reviews progress regularly.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and perspectives, giving them space to set goals and decide what matters. It helps when someone needs a therapist who listens and follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful when strong emotions or impulsivity are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match tools to everyday problems like workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, or recurring resentment.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check available options when you select See online therapy options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use approaches like CBT homework, DBT skills practice, and Client-Centered conversations while keeping work and family routines intact.
