About Riley

Riley Henderson practices with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), using practical, evidence-informed tools to help clients address patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Background and approach

As an Ohio-licensed independent social worker, she emphasizes skill-building and collaborative problem solving to support clients through changes and interpersonal challenges. With three years of clinical experience, Riley has worked across homes, schools, and the court system, supporting people during crises, family conflict, and transitions.

Her background includes work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and she brings a nonjudgmental, client-centered stance to each session. She also brings focused attention to LGBTQIA+ issues, grief, mindfulness, relationship struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Riley’s practice addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, panic and social anxiety, and life purpose questions. She aims to create an environment where clients feel heard and empowered to develop strategies for coping, healing, and sustained change.

Online CBT and Practical Strategies for Everyday Challenges

Riley commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to build concrete skills for coping with anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured strategies such as behavioral experiments and skill practice to reduce distress and improve functioning.

She also integrates client-centered, nonjudgmental techniques that invite collaboration and creativity in session. This means she works alongside clients to explore goals, test approaches, and adjust interventions over time so the therapeutic plan fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Riley is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or school commitments and to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can tailor session types to the issues you want to work on, helping clients access consistent support without needing to attend in-person appointments.
