About Riley

Riley Henderson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She uses a straightforward, warm style to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and major life changes. Riley focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Riley draws on three years of clinical experience across community settings. She has supported people through uncertainty, loss, family conflict, and crisis in homes, schools, and the court system. Her background gives her familiarity with a wide range of life challenges and transitions.

In sessions she keeps the work non-judgmental and client focused. She offers space to talk through painful experiences and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. This approach emphasizes useful skills and small changes that add up over time.

Riley also pays attention to identity and relationship concerns and is passionate about LGBT issues. She can help with coping skills, communication problems, grief, and rebuilding after stressful events. Isolation and loneliness are listed among the issues she supports people with.

Riley aims to be practical and compassionate. She encourages honest conversation and tries to make therapy a place where people can regain confidence, solve problems, and find direction. To start, readers are asked to follow the site process to connect and schedule a first session.

How CBT Fits Into Online Work and What to Expect

Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. CBT focuses on clear problems and practical skills, which can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and stress related to life changes.

She blends that skills-based work with a supportive, client-focused approach. Finding the right approach is something she will do together with each person. Riley will talk about goals, test strategies, and adjust techniques based on what feels useful to the client.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, like taking a session during a break or avoiding travel time. If you rely on quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or a shorter check-in, ask about session options when you book. The site process will also guide you through matching and scheduling so you can pick times that work with your routine.
