Katherine Henderson, LCSW, LMHC

Katherine Henderson is an LCSW and LMHC offering therapy rooted in practical, skills-based approaches. She brings 31 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Katherine works from a warm, respectful stance that values each person's dignity and preferences.

Her style blends cognitive and person-centered methods to meet individual needs. Sessions commonly include dialogue, cognitive reframing, mindfulness exercises, relaxation practices, and journaling. She aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of handling difficult emotions and situations.

Katherine has worked in both agency settings and private practice for decades. That background informs a flexible approach to common problems such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges around aging and geriatric issues. She also addresses complicated life events like divorce, domestic violence, and loss.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances short-term skills with attention to deeper patterns. When traumatic memories or intense emotions come up, she uses established methods to help people process those experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Her goal is to offer a nonjudgmental place to talk, practice new skills, and plan steps forward. People who want a therapist who listens, respects their values, and focuses on practical change may find this approach helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can guide mindfulness exercises and practice in making small, values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills that clients can practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions shape relationships and can help people improve connection and communication in close relationships.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not specify formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit work on emotions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can also assign exercises like mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, and skills homework that are easy to use between appointments.
