Sarah Henson

Sarah Henson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland who focuses on grief and loss. She draws on five years of clinical experience plus over a decade in paraprofessional roles supporting caregiving and end-of-life needs. Sarah speaks plainly and offers steady, compassionate support for people adjusting to major change.

She centers conversations on each person's unique relationship to loss and what matters most to them. Sessions often include space to talk about anticipatory grief, processing feelings, and finding ways to cope day to day. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical steps that match a person's situation.

Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate life choices. She works with clients on values, small behavior changes, and ways to move toward a meaningful life despite loss or ongoing stress.

Her background includes helping caregivers, people facing hospice or end-of-life concerns, and those struggling with loneliness or searching for life purpose. She also addresses control issues and forgiveness when they come up in grief work.

Sarah provides weekly video sessions and weekly follow-up messaging through the platform, and she asks about expectations and supports early in the process. Services are limited to residents of Maryland and she does not accept international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire.

How ACT fits into online grief and life-change work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them. It emphasizes identifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, which can be helpful for grief, caregiver stress, and feeling stuck.

Sarah also uses practical behavior-focused work that encourages small, doable changes. This can include scheduling brief meaningful activities, building simple routines, and practicing ways to respond differently to upsetting thoughts. Those methods are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and reducing avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will suggest ways to blend ACT with practical behavioral strategies. That collaboration helps decide what to try first and how to adapt if something isn’t working.

Sarah’s profile notes weekly video sessions and weekly follow-up messaging through the platform. If you need other session options, confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make appointments easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on coping and values-based steps between sessions.
