About Emma
Emma Henderschedt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She practices in Connecticut and works with adults, teens, and children. Emma aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on skills people can try between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and on Mindfulness to build calm.
Background and approach
She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. EMDR is included in her toolkit for processing trauma when appropriate. Emma's background includes a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center.
That experience involved treating a range of childhood and adolescent concerns and learning several evidence-based methods. She brings three years of clinical experience as a Connecticut LCSW to her practice. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Emma helps people set clear goals, learn coping strategies, and practice new ways of responding to stress and conflict. She offers explanations in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t working. People often seek her out for help with parenting stress, attachment and adoption-related questions, mood and panic concerns, or life changes like separation and career shifts.
Emma supports those dealing with trauma, body image struggles, isolation, and issues related to identity and relationships.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Emma often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, test those ideas, and try new actions that reduce stress and anger. It is a hands-on approach that lends itself well to homework and check-ins over video or messaging.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions. That work focuses on building safety in relationships and learning different ways to connect, which can be discussed and practiced in sessions with real-life examples.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level, and may blend techniques to meet changing needs during care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and getting timely support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines.
