About Emma
Emma Henderschedt is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience. She helps adults with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, trauma and relationship problems. Her work also includes issues around self-esteem, career questions, anger, and coping with life changes.
Emma uses a mix of practical talk therapy and skill-based work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current dynamics.
Her background includes a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center where she worked with a range of mental health challenges. That experience included work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and blended family matters. It also exposed her to interventions aimed at childhood mood and behavioral problems.
In sessions she may integrate EMDR for trauma, mindfulness practices for stress and anxiety, and Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals and make changes. Sessions focus on clear strategies, short-term skills, and practical ways to handle tense moments at home.
People typically come for parenting strain, recurring family conflict, or ongoing anxiety and mood concerns. Emma offers straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what might help next. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
How Emma’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and emotions. Online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and apply changes to everyday family interactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this can include guided exercises, thought records, and short behavioral experiments you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for trauma-related distress and involves guided processing of difficult memories. When used remotely, the therapist will explain the steps and guide the processing while helping you notice changes in how you feel about specific memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about how techniques are working and adjusting the plan over time.
