About Katherine
Katherine Henderson is a licensed therapist with more than three decades of experience. She holds both LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and practices in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate relationship and life changes.
Her approach is warm and direct. Sessions use practical tools such as cognitive reframing, mindfulness exercises, journaling, and relaxation techniques. Katherine often combines client-centered conversation with skills-based work to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.
Background and approach
She has a long history in both agency settings and independent practice. Over the years she has supported people dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and family concerns. She also helps with issues like codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and coping after separation or loss.
Katherine adapts methods to each person. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, or emotionally-focused methods depending on the goal. The focus is on what helps someone make steady, manageable changes in life.
Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a space where difficult feelings can be faced and worked through at a pace that feels doable. Katherine describes therapy as a collaborative process that seeks realistic, practical steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It combines mindfulness and action planning to reduce the hold of anxious or avoidant thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. It uses goal-oriented exercises, behavior experiments, and thought records to create measurable change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend a mix of methods. That shared decision helps shape a plan that matches each person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills coaching and processing. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, progress updates, and practicing skills between longer appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
