Sarah Henson

Sarah Henson is a Maryland-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C #22410, holding a Maryland clinical social work license and bringing five years of clinical practice along with more than ten years of paraprofessional experience in grief and loss, caregiving support, and end-of-life counseling. She focuses on helping people cope with bereavement and adjust to life changes, including the challenges of caring for a loved one at the end of life.

She recognizes that grief and anticipatory grief are highly individual experiences shaped by the relationship you have or had with the person who is lost. Encouraging the expression of thoughts and feelings throughout the grieving process supports healthy adjustment to loss and often reduces the severity of emotional distress and may even prevent the development of prolonged grief disorder.

Sarah approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she tailors conversation and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs. She views the decision to seek greater well-being as an act of courage and aims to support and empower individuals as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Her availability on this platform is limited to residents of Maryland. Given the constraints of online therapy and her current scheduling, she generally offers weekly video sessions and weekly follow-up messaging. For urgent emotional support needs, she advises contacting an immediate professional mental health support provider, such as a mental health crisis response provider or team. At the start of exploring whether a therapeutic relationship is a good fit, she may ask about your expectations for support and your willingness and ability to engage with recommended supports outside this platform.
