About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Henry is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 27 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses EMDR for trauma work, mindfulness skills for managing reactivity, and narrative therapy to revisit personal stories.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. Gwendolyn helps people name patterns that lead to anger and frustration, then practices different responses in session. She also supports work on guilt, shame, attachment wounds, abandonment, and communication problems that often feed resentful feelings.
Her experience includes caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and supporting people who are hearing impaired. She brings 27 years of clinical work to these topics and draws on varied therapeutic tools to match what the client wants to try.
Gwendolyn works in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Gwendolyn uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the client brings to each session. That means she listens closely, reflects concerns back, and helps people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety going, using practical exercises and short homework to test new ways of responding.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work when appropriate, which involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. These approaches are useful for anger rooted in past hurt, reactive patterns, or ongoing stressors. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to try and will adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break, or let someone choose a quieter setting with less visual demand. The focus is on making sessions practical and workable so people can try new ways of responding to anger in everyday situations.
