About Riley
Riley Henderson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio who offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, and life changes. She focuses on creating a safe-feeling space where a person can be heard and begin to make small, practical changes.
Riley uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people manage symptoms and regain daily functioning. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new skills, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure work and track progress over time.
Her background includes work in homes, schools, and the court system. Those settings shaped her practice and taught her to adapt sessions to real-world challenges. She has three years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, family conflict, and major life transitions.
Riley is comfortable talking about LGBTQIA+ concerns, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting stress. She also addresses things like panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety, and caregiver strain with practical coping strategies. Sessions aim to leave people with specific tools they can use between meetings.
Reaching out for help is often a first step. Riley aims to listen without judgment and work collaboratively on goals. The approach is steady, direct, and focused on what helps in everyday life.
How CBT-based Online Work Can Support Everyday Challenges
Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core way to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts, teaches concrete skills, and focuses on small homework tasks that build confidence and reduce symptoms over time.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Riley will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work matches your needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm available options when booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format is offered. Many people find that remote sessions help sustain progress while keeping therapy practical and focused on daily life.
