About Henrieta
Henrieta Deka is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Henrieta aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming by offering steady, patient support.
She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what’s causing strain and building practical ways to cope. People can expect straightforward, respectful conversation and guidance tailored to their situation.
Henrieta draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address workplace strain, relationship tensions, and life transitions. She also supports those managing chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. The work often includes improving communication, processing guilt or shame, and clarifying personal goals and purpose.
Her approach balances problem-solving with emotional attention. That can mean learning new coping skills one week and talking through painful memories the next. Henrieta speaks English and Haitian Creole, and she practices in New York as an LCSW.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Henrieta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical change. One common approach helps people identify triggers for anxiety and stress, learn coping skills, and practice new behaviors to reduce daily strain. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and painful memories in a paced way so the person can feel safer and more in control of their reactions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust over time based on what works best.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, lets them check in between commitments, or allows shorter follow-up meetings when needed. Talk with the therapist about your scheduling needs and preferred ways of meeting so you can arrange a plan that fits your routine.
