About Emma

Emma Henderschedt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Emma also helps with career stress, anger, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She blends methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause pain, try small changes, and build skills people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Emma blends EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. EMDR is aimed at easing the hold of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing, which can help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practices new responses to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try strategies together to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps tailor EMDR, CBT, or mindfulness techniques to each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more direct interaction. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter exchanges, ongoing check-ins, and people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
