Background and approach
Many clients come for help after trauma, domestic violence, or major transitions in life. Dr. Hensley draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. A client-centered stance shapes the work, putting the person’s goals and experiences first. Sessions are an opportunity to learn tools for coping with daily stress and longer-term struggles like post-traumatic stress or compassion fatigue.
She also helps people facing immigration-related stress, blended family challenges, and young adult transitions. The focus is on steps that fit into a person’s real life. People who choose Dr.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Hensley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, which helps with panic attacks, low mood, and stress.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video makes it easier to use visual exercises and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging allow frequent brief communications and homework check-ins between longer sessions.
