About Sarah
Sarah Henson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland with five years of clinical experience and more than a decade of paraprofessional work in grief, caregiving, and end-of-life support. She focuses on grief and loss and the adjustments that follow major life changes. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, control issues, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and women's issues.
She draws on practical conversation and close listening to help people name what they are feeling. Sessions focus on expressing thoughts and emotions about loss and on finding everyday ways to manage heavy feelings. Sarah frames grief and anticipatory grief as personal experiences tied to each relationship and situation.
Her background includes supporting people through hospice and end-of-life care, and helping caregivers balance demands and emotions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most in day-to-day life. Sarah describes grief work as a process of adjusting, not a problem to be quickly fixed.
When connecting with someone new she asks about current supports and what they hope to get from sessions. She routinely discusses expectations for ongoing care and suggests other supports when needed. Her practice serves Maryland residents and conducts sessions in English.
Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process that uses a subscription model. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session so Sarah can determine fit and plan next steps.
How ACT shapes online sessions and practical support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small actions toward those values, which can help with grief, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.In sessions Sarah uses plain conversation alongside ACT ideas to name feelings and decide on next steps. She helps clients clarify what matters to them and practices simple behavioral changes they can try between meetings. This approach is aimed at gradual adjustment rather than quick solutions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and everyday demands, and together they will decide whether ACT or another focus makes sense. She may suggest supports outside sessions if those would be helpful.
The biography notes that scheduling and formats are arranged through the platform's matching and subscription process. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or let someone avoid travel time while focusing on practical coping steps.
