Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gwendolyn Henry uses approaches that prioritize the client’s experience and practical progress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals - it helps people feel understood and find their own solutions for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, making it useful for trauma recovery and related symptoms.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Gwendolyn works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adapting methods over time to fit changing needs. She combines clinical training with open conversation to arrive at a tailored plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to attend sessions from home or during a busy day. These formats support continuous care and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions while fitting therapy into varied lifestyles.
