About Sarah
Sarah Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and major life changes. She meets individuals where they are and aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and doable. Sarah focuses on practical, everyday concerns like self-esteem, communication problems, workplace stress, and the loneliness that can come with big transitions.
She also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, and money worries.
Background and approach
Young adults looking for direction can look to her for clear, down-to-earth guidance. Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
She listens first, then works with clients to set small, achievable goals and steps that fit real life. Sarah draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive-behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and motivational interviewing to help strengthen commitment to change.
She blends these with emotionally-focused and client-centered methods to keep the work relatable and useful. With five years of clinical experience in New York, Sarah emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She helps people build skills they can use between sessions and supports them as they try new ways of coping and communicating.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs support sorting out feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and techniques are mixed to match what’s most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time so people can use the hour for focused work. Many clients find virtual sessions let them practice skills in the settings where problems occur and follow up quickly on real-life challenges.
