About Henrietta

Henrietta Long-Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on twelve years of clinical experience. She combines practical, straightforward methods with a warm, interactive style. She focuses on addictions, mood concerns, stress, and relationship and family issues.

Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build a cooperative relationship that supports change. Henrietta often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and support committed action. Motivational Interviewing appears when clients face ambivalence about change, offering a respectful way to find internal motivation. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented.

Henrietta works to make concrete plans that fit each person’s life and priorities. She also draws on narrative and client-centered ideas to help people reframe their stories and feel heard.

Her background includes focused work with addictions, process addictions such as gambling and problematic sexual behaviors, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depressive conditions, ADHD, seasonal affective disorder, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and career transitions. She is licensed in New York - NY LCSW 083858 and offers services in English.

Practical matters are discussed openly, including session format and subscription-based billing that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT focuses on practical exercises and real-life actions that can be practiced between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them; it adapts well to video or phone work with worksheets and in-session practice. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be effective through chat, text, or live conversation by focusing on strengths and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to each person’s situation, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls and phone sessions allow conversational work much like an office visit. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing family, work, and other commitments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
