About Emma

Emma Henderschedt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strains, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and big life changes. She welcomes questions about career concerns, anger, panic, and issues related to adoption, attachment, or blended families. Emma practices from Connecticut and speaks English.

Emma keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She uses talk, skill practice, and reflection to help people make small, steady changes. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, coping skills for panic or anger, and strategies to handle day-to-day stress.

Background and approach

When trauma is part of the picture, she uses methods that aim to reduce the hold painful memories can have on daily life. Her background includes work with young people and adults on mood disorders, disruptive mood challenges, and caregiver stress.

Emma completed a post-graduate fellowship that involved clinical work at a child study center and experience with a range of evidence-based methods. She brings three years of clinical experience to her practice as an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker. In sessions she blends approaches like attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

The mix is chosen to match each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single template. Expect a blend of talking, learning new skills, and gradually trying out different ways of coping. Emma aims to make therapy accessible.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People can use these formats to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving between sessions.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this means looking at how expectations about trust and closeness affect reactions today and practicing new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when past events keep causing strong reactions; it combines guided recall with specific processing methods to reduce the intensity of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. Over time approaches are adjusted based on what feels useful and what leads to practical changes in daily life.

Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people meet face to face for in-depth work and practice skills together. Phone sessions or live chat can be a simpler check-in or fit tight schedules and lower bandwidth situations. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, tracking progress, or sharing thoughts between appointments. These options help therapy fit into work, parenting, and busy routines while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
