About Riley
Riley Henderson uses practical, skills-focused therapy to help people manage stressful or painful moments. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving. Riley introduces steady tools and short exercises so people can see change between sessions.
She is Riley Henderson, an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with three years of clinical experience. Riley helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and trauma symptoms.
How Riley works
She also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, anger, and panic. People come to work on relationship strain, intimacy issues, family conflict, or parenting pressures. Riley’s additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, isolation, and life-purpose questions.
Her work is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions center on clear goals, practical strategies, and homework that fits daily life. Riley uses CBT tools like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce symptoms and test new reactions.
She also brings coaching skills to help clients set and reach personal or career goals. Riley’s background includes practice in homes, schools, and the court system. That experience informs her approach to crisis moments and complicated life changes.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly and try small shifts that add up over time. People meet Riley for short-term skill building or longer work on deeper patterns. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions are scheduled through the site's matching and booking process.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Riley primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete steps so people can practice different responses to anxiety, panic, depression, or stress. It also helps with body image, self-esteem, and managing mood shifts.Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Riley will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on short-term skills, longer exploration, or a mix of coaching and CBT techniques.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets during the session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick skills practice, or ongoing notes between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules and to try techniques in real time.
