Sarah Henderson

Sarah Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and workplace struggles. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem questions, anger, panic, and major life changes. Sarah describes her work as practical and down-to-earth, meeting people where they are so small steps add up over time.

She focuses on issues that often affect daily life: isolation or loneliness, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and money or career worries. Young adults who are figuring out purpose or direction also turn to her for help. Sarah aims to put concerns into plain words and break problems down into manageable pieces.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions emphasize listening first, then gentle guidance toward strategies that fit each person’s situation. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills.

Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused approaches are part of her toolkit when people want to clarify goals or repair important relationships. With five years of clinical experience, she blends practical skill-building with attention to a person’s values and strengths. Clients can expect warm, respectful conversation and concrete steps to try between meetings.

To begin, Sarah invites people to consider what matters most to them and what would feel different if stress or anxiety eased. She supports gradual progress and helps people track small wins as they work toward clearer goals.
