About Henrietta

Henrietta Long-Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and interactive and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship from the start.

Henrietta draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address painful feelings without getting stuck in them.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy are part of her practical toolkit for changing unhelpful thoughts and strengthening personal coping skills. She has experience supporting people with substance-related and process addictions, including gambling and problematic porn use, as well as those facing trauma, grief, and bipolar disorder.

Multicultural concerns are a noted focus, and she understands how cultural context shapes a person’s experience of stress and identity. Sessions can address relationship and intimacy-related issues, career stress, seasonal affective disorder, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem problems. Henrietta aims to tailor her methods to each person’s situation and goals.

Her style emphasizes listening first, then working together on clear, manageable steps. Based in New York, Henrietta conducts sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She encourages people to begin by describing what they want to change, so therapy can be shaped around real life needs.

Online session options

Online therapy that uses stories and skills

Henrietta commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the unhelpful stories they carry about themselves. Narrative work focuses on how life events get woven into personal meaning and helps people find alternative, more empowering narratives.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult feelings while taking action toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. These approaches are practical and aim to produce clearer ways to cope with stress, addiction, and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. Henrietta works collaboratively to match approaches to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts techniques so therapy feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling-style work, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
