Henrietta Long-Hall, LCSW

Henrietta Long-Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has 12 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, mood challenges, anxiety, and life transitions. Henrietta uses plain talk and a warm, interactive manner to make sessions feel approachable.

She blends practical tools and conversation to address problems like substance and process addictions, depression, bipolar mood swings, and attention concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent part of her work, paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered strategies when they fit a person's needs.

Henrietta pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes coping and identity. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, anger, and career stress. Seasonal Affective Disorder and process addictions such as gambling, porn, or compulsive exercise are listed focus areas she can help with.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Henrietta uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people clarify values, set small goals, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People connect with her straightforward style when they want to build new habits, manage intense emotions, or move through transitions. Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and reflection tailored to each person's situation.

CBT and acceptance-based work through online sessions

Henrietta often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical skills such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, testing anxious predictions, and building routines that reduce symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can be useful for managing difficult feelings, coping with cravings, and staying committed to recovery or life changes. Client-centered methods are woven in to ensure conversations stay grounded in each person's goals and pace.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Henrietta will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on their goals and preferences. This means trying tools in early sessions and adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help, phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or prompts between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and life demands.
