About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Henry is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and related life difficulties. Gwendolyn also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and career or relationship concerns.
Her sessions begin with practical questions about what is causing distress now. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as control issues, impulsivity, or family of origin dynamics. From there she helps people develop concrete skills to manage emotions and make clearer decisions.
Gwendolyn uses several therapy methods to help people process difficult memories and change unhelpful thinking. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot thought patterns and on narrative work to reframe life stories that feel stuck. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with strong feelings and grounding.
When trauma is part of the picture, she may include EMDR components alongside talk work to address painful memories. Her client-centered stance keeps the client's goals central while these methods are applied. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused but allow space for exploring painful experiences.
People who contact her often need help with abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, forgiveness, or coping after separation. She also has experience supporting those affected by domestic violence, adoption and foster care issues, hearing impairment, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and compassion fatigue.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities and gives space for them to guide the work. In practice this means the therapist checks in frequently about what is helpful and adjusts techniques to fit the client's pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change thought patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. It often uses simple exercises between sessions to practice new ways of responding to triggers.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when painful memories keep causing strong reactions. In sessions it combines memory-focused processing with techniques that help reduce the intensity of those memories so daily reactions can change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to decide whether CBT, EMDR, narrative techniques, mindfulness, or a mix will best meet current goals. That plan can change as work progresses and as needs shift.
