About Katherine
Katherine Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 31 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and trauma. Katherine uses straightforward techniques that people can try between sessions.
Typical tools include cognitive reframing, mindfulness exercises, relaxation strategies, journaling, and tracking thoughts and behaviors. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and inviting and emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion. Conversations are shaped to fit the individual’s needs. The work often centers on practical steps for coping with life changes, reducing symptoms, and improving communication in relationships.
Katherine has worked in both agency settings and independent practice for decades. That mix of experience informs her approach to common problems such as caregiver stress, codependency, commitment concerns, anger, and isolation. She also supports people facing divorce, domestic violence aftermath, and grief.
In sessions she may draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She will discuss options and help people choose strategies that feel right for them. Katherine speaks English and conducts sessions with adults using methods suited to each situation.

Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when you want clearer direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and how they shape relationships, which can help with communication and connection concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing reflection, and tools you can use between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical change.
