Rebecca Henry, LCSW

I am an open-minded practitioner with a here-and-now focus who values warmth, unconditional positive regard, kindness, and understanding. I am a licensed independent clinician with more than 10 years in the social work field and mental health field. I have a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree in social work from East TN State University. I have dedicated my life to the field of clinical social work. I am currently a licensed clinical social worker and have a private practice . I have been a therapist within both outpatient and residential settings. My specialty is treating those with depression, anxiety, anger, and adjustment disorders. My treatment approach is set on the foundation of the patient centered therapeutic relationship with the use of cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I believe in helping others improve their lives through supportive listening, positive feedback, and offering helpful questioning designed to inspire change and instill hope. Autonomy is important in change while working within a collaboration. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life. I meet you where you are and build on your strengths and resources. My style is not always “easy”, as a CBT therapist helping clients identify/challenge faulty thought patterns and beliefs is important. Motivational Interviewing involves questioning designed to help clients discover discrepancies in their behaviors and their goals/wishes for themselves. This can sometimes push you past your comfort zone but with great consideration and emphasis given to your feelings. Oftentimes, clients aren't aware of what is holding them back and keeping them stuck in unhealthy patterns. I look forward to us working together in strengthen awareness, improving communication, increasing personal growth and nurturing healing.
