About Sarah
LCSW-C (Maryland) social worker with five years of clinical experience and over ten years in paraprofessional grief and end-of-life support. Sarah Henson focuses on grief, caregiving stress, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a primary approach.
Sarah helps people who are coping with loss and major life changes. She talks with clients about anticipatory grief, complicated feelings, and the particular relationship they had with the person who died. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person needs to move forward day to day.
Her background includes direct caregiving support and work in grief services before becoming a licensed clinical social worker. That experience informs how she supports people through the practical and emotional parts of loss, such as role changes, decision fatigue, and isolation.
In sessions she uses ACT techniques to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter to them. She also addresses control issues, forgiveness, life purpose, and women’s concerns alongside grief and caregiver stress.
Sarah provides weekly video sessions and weekly follow-up messaging as part of her practice on this platform. She works only with residents of the state of Maryland and conducts sessions in English. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How ACT is used in online sessions and what to expect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. In practice that looks like identifying personal values, trying small actions that line up with those values, and learning simple mindfulness exercises to reduce avoidance. ACT is often used for grief, caregiver stress, control issues, and related emotional struggles. Sarah will work collaboratively to find which parts of ACT are most useful for a person’s situation. She will ask about goals, daily routines, and what support a person already has. Together they decide which exercises and steps to try between sessions and adjust the plan as needed. The therapist’s profile notes weekly video sessions and weekly follow-up messaging as the typical rhythm on this platform. If you need different session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are more convenient. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and how to fit sessions into everyday life when you first meet.Sheet 3
