About Emma

Emma Henderschedt (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with three years of clinical experience and advanced post-graduate training. As an LCSW she is trained to provide psychotherapy and to support individuals and families navigating emotional and relational challenges.

Emma's clinical focus includes treating anxiety and depression, addressing trauma, and helping people improve interpersonal relationships and conflict management. She works with adults, teenagers, and children, tailoring interventions to the developmental stage and needs of each person. Her approach combines practical strategies with attention to emotional safety and relationship patterns.

Emma completed a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center, where she treated a range of mental health concerns and trained in multiple evidence-based models. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) including IPT for depressed adolescents, and the Circle of Security model for attachment-focused work.

She believes that access to mental health care is as important as physical health and encourages people who are seeking support. Emma aims to collaborate with clients as part of a care team to identify goals and develop practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In brief, it helps people explore how past bonds affect present relationships and supports the development of healthier attachment styles, which can be especially helpful for family and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management, and lends itself to structured work during video or phone sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR can be adapted for remote work with a focus on stabilizing techniques and gradual reprocessing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals tailor techniques to suit each person’s pace and comfort.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from home or other locations. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging create multiple ways to stay connected and maintain momentum between appointments, making consistent care more achievable for people with busy lives or limited local options.
