About Riley

Riley Henderson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on practical, straightforward help for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and major life changes. Riley aims to make therapy a clear, useful process for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Riley uses an open, non-judgmental style in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Her work draws on experience in homes, schools, and the court system. Over three years she has supported people through crises, loss, family conflict, and transitions. Those settings shaped a practical approach to coping and problem solving.

Riley reports experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, eating concerns, and ADHD. She also lists additional focus areas such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and divorce and separation.

Sessions are intended to help people develop skills, reduce distress, and make concrete changes that fit their lives. Riley encourages clients to set clear goals and to use techniques that can be practiced between meetings. Reaching out for help is framed as a brave first step, and she aims to meet people where they are.

How CBT-Informed Online Work Can Help

Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a clear, hands-on way to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions typically focus on identifying specific thoughts and routines that increase anxiety or low mood, then testing and adjusting them with practical exercises and homework. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and problems with daily functioning.

Riley also brings a non-judgmental, client-focused attitude to online work. She works collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. Deciding on the best approach is a shared process built from the client's needs, preferences, and progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let people try approaches like CBT exercises and skill practice in the settings where they live and work, which helps translate learning into everyday change.
