About Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn Henry is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 27 years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of working with clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of life stressors, including ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes listening closely to each person’s story to understand how past experiences and current circumstances interact. Her therapeutic stance blends empathy with evidence-informed methods, so sessions often move between exploring personal narratives and using practical tools to manage symptoms like impulsivity, sleep disruption, or overwhelming emotions.

She also addresses relational and family-of-origin concerns, communication and control issues, and challenges linked to caregiving and end-of-life circumstances. Gwendolyn aims to help clients build coping skills, clarify values, and identify steps toward more stable daily functioning.

Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals are set collaboratively. She offers a range of session formats and frames progress as a process that combines insight, behavioral change, and realistic strategies tailored to each person’s situation and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting atmosphere where the client's priorities guide each session; this approach helps people explore values, make sense of feelings, and set meaningful goals in their own time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, and it can be integrated when trauma recovery is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as treatment progresses. This shared planning helps tailor sessions to practical outcomes as well as personal insight.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or elsewhere, and use shorter check-ins or longer weekly appointments depending on what fits the person's life and therapeutic goals.
