About Emma

Emma Henderschedt is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on several evidence-informed methods to address problems like panic, mood disturbances, family conflict, and issues related to adoption, attachment, or blended families. Emma also works with concerns such as anger, career stress, LGBT issues, caregiver strain, and isolation.

Her approach blends structured, skills-based strategies with attention to relational patterns and past experience. Emma uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and she incorporates attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current responses.

She is also trained in EMDR for processing traumatic memories, and she uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to build coping skills and bolster engagement in the work. Emma earned a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center and practices in Connecticut as CT LCSW 13158.

With three years of clinical experience, she offers treatment for adults, teens, and children and emphasizes collaborative care that fits each person's goals and life circumstances.

Applying evidence-based approaches to online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and interactions, which can be helpful for family issues, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties. EMDR is a trauma-focused method designed to help process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity associated with them, and it may be offered when past events are contributors to present symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, assess needs, and try methods that fit the person's preferences and circumstances rather than applying a single technique by default. Clients can expect a flexible plan that adapts over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and convenience. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and maintain continuity when in-person options are limited.
