About Riley

Riley Henderson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who centers her work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people manage distressing thoughts and build practical skills.

Background and approach

She draws on three years of clinical experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD-related challenges, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and tangible strategies for coping with life changes and improving day-to-day functioning.

Henderson has provided services across varied settings including homes, schools, and the court system, which has helped her respond to crises and support recovery in multiple contexts. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, offering a nonjudgmental and client-focused environment that welcomes creative approaches.

Areas of additional focus include caregiving stress, body image, communication and intimacy issues, grief and loss, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Clients can expect a supportive space where practical skill-building is paired with empathy.

Riley’s practice attends to both immediate coping needs and longer-term goals like self-love, life purpose, and healthier relationships, while tailoring methods to each person’s situation and preferences.

Applying CBT Online for Practical Change

Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method, helping clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is skill-oriented and often includes exercises to try between sessions, which can make progress feel concrete and measurable.

The therapist offers an approach that values collaboration; she works with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences and adapts sessions accordingly. Figuring out the right therapeutic mix is part of the process, and clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves with their needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular care from home or work and to integrate therapeutic work into busy lives while maintaining continuity across appointments.
