About Henrietta
Henrietta Long-Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with addictions, anxiety, depression, mood issues such as bipolar, and stress related to life and work changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with concerns including grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, career challenges, and seasonal affective disorder.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and change reactions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy when those fit the situation. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
Henrietta has substantial experience with addictions and process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling. She also addresses multicultural concerns and the ways culture shapes coping and recovery. Her background includes working directly with people managing trauma, abuse, and complex emotional responses.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and concrete skill-building. Conversations often start with identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking what changes. She uses goal-focused work that aims to make daily routines more manageable.
People who contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How CBT and Related Approaches Are Used in Online Sessions
Henrietta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to stress or unhelpful actions, then test small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT sessions tend to include short, concrete tasks and homework that can be practiced between meetings to track progress and learn new habits.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult feelings, and on client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting to help people organize their thoughts. ACT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions, while client-centered methods support clearer self-understanding.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to try. That collaboration helps shape session structure and the kinds of exercises used.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and can allow shorter check-ins by phone if needed, or video meetings when more visual interaction is helpful. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick the practical arrangement that fits day-to-day life.
