Henrieta Deka is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in New York. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and family-related concerns.

She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients sort through what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.
Background and approach
Henrieta aims to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways of coping with everyday pressures. Her work often addresses life transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness and communication problems. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, social anxiety, and workplace strain.
That range means she brings experience to many common emotional challenges. Henrieta works in English and Haitian Creole. People who prefer phone sessions, video calls, live chat, or text messaging can use those formats to connect.
She describes starting therapy as a courageous step and focuses on steady, practical progress. In sessions Henrieta listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She supports people as they practice new ways of responding to stress.
Over time the conversations aim to build clearer priorities and more reliable coping skills.
Practical approaches for online anxiety care
Henrieta draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress - it teaches simple breathing, pacing, and thought-challenging exercises to reduce immediate overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences related to trauma and loss by helping people name what happened, notice how it affects them now, and practice new ways of responding that reduce reactivity.Choosing which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Henrieta begins by listening to goals and concerns, then outlines options and suggests a plan. She invites feedback each step of the way so strategies can be adjusted to what feels most useful for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes between sessions and get support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice new skills between meetings.
