About Riley
Riley Henderson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and the everyday challenges of parenting and relationships.

She offers clear tools for coping with ADHD-related struggles, mood swings, panic, and trauma symptoms. Conversations are direct and down-to-earth, aimed at building skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
In clinical work, Riley has provided services in homes, schools, and the court system. That experience exposed her to intense crises and to common struggles that follow loss, conflict, or sudden transitions. She draws on those settings to understand practical barriers people face when trying to make changes.
Her style is nonjudgmental and client-centered. Sessions usually mix skills practice with chances to talk through difficult feelings and relationship patterns. Riley also pays attention to identity and LGBTQ issues when those are relevant to a person's story.
People who choose Riley can expect a collaborative plan. She works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to track what helps. Reaching out for support is a first step, and she aims to make the process manageable and focused on real-life results.
How CBT and online sessions fit your life
Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, often helpful for anxiety, panic, depression, and problems with focus and attention.Her work combines talking through difficult feelings with concrete exercises to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She also addresses identity and relationship concerns when they affect mood or self-esteem. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Riley partners with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer check-ins, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection or quick support between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, school, or medical appointments.
