Sarah Henson

Sarah Henson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland. She brings five years of clinical practice and over a decade of paraprofessional experience supporting people through grief, caregiving, and end-of-life concerns. Sarah focuses on listening closely and helping people find practical ways to move forward.

Her main focus is grief and loss, including anticipatory grief when a loved one is nearing the end of life. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, struggles around control, and questions about life purpose. Women’s issues are listed among her areas of focus.

Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. In sessions she typically invites clear goals, simple exercises, and calm conversation to make progress feel manageable. She adapts the pace and topics to each person’s needs.

She treats people with respect and sensitivity and tailors dialog and a plan to what feels useful for them. Her availability on this platform is limited to residents of Maryland, and she normally offers weekly video sessions plus weekly follow-up messaging. Before beginning, she asks about expectations and readiness to use supports outside the platform when needed.

Sarah encourages anyone facing loss or heavy caregiving demands to consider talking through what matters most. She focuses on practical steps, compassionate listening, and helping people find ways to live in line with their values.

How ACT and online work together for grief and caregiving

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult feelings rather than fight them, and then take small actions that reflect what matters most. It can be useful for grief, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose because it focuses on living by values even when emotions are painful.

In session Sarah helps people identify values and try brief exercises that build practical habits. That work often includes noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment and committing to concrete steps that match personal priorities. Those methods aim to reduce avoidance and increase things that bring meaning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, and then adjust the methods over time in a collaborative way.

Her profile indicates weekly video sessions plus weekly follow-up messaging as the usual pattern. If you want different session types, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, and reduce the need to travel to appointments.
