About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Henry is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns.

Gwendolyn uses practical, talk-based work to help people notice patterns that come from their early family life. She helps clients name repeating roles, communication habits, and expectations that affect current relationships. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to follow the person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses EMDR for processing disturbing memories and narrative therapy to reframe life stories. Mindfulness practices are introduced for stress and grounding.
Gwendolyn pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin issues when those are part of a client’s concerns. She works with topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and communication breakdowns. She also supports people coping with divorce, control issues, guilt, and shame.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across diverse settings. Gwendolyn aims to help people build more flexible responses to old patterns rather than rely on them. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to schedule an initial session and discuss fit.
How Gwendolyn Uses Therapies Online
Gwendolyn blends client-centered work with evidence-based tools. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities; it helps people set goals and decide what to address first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals, comfort, and what proves helpful in early sessions. That collaborative planning aims to match techniques to the issues a client brings, such as family-of-origin patterns, grief, or anxiety.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, grounding practices, and behavioral tasks so they work over remote sessions when that format is in use.
