    About Ronald

    Ronald Henson is a licensed social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. He uses therapy and coaching to support people trying to make changes in their lives. Ronald holds an LCSW and practices in New Jersey.

    Ronald frames therapy as a partnership. He begins by asking where a person wants to be and then works with them to set clear goals. Sessions focus on building practical skills people can use day to day. He emphasizes small steps that add up to meaningful change.

    His approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person's own reasons for change, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also brings ideas from Jungian Therapy to help people understand deeper patterns and personal meaning.

    Ronald pays attention to relationships and communication. He helps people sort attachment concerns, handle separation or divorce, and improve how they connect with others. He also supports men facing identity and self-worth struggles, and young adults navigating work and life transitions.

    Practical problems are part of the work too. He addresses issues like impulsivity, loneliness, money stress, workplace strain, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. The aim is to build on strengths so people can make steady, realistic progress toward their goals.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons to change. Online sessions can use this approach to build motivation for things like breaking habits, increasing confidence, or making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means practicing small experiments between meetings and tracking results together. Jungian Therapy looks at personal patterns and meaning, using discussion and reflection to uncover recurring themes in someone's life. It can be useful when people want to understand deeper motivations or life direction. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ronald will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, and decisions are made together. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the original profile describes virtual one-to-one work but does not list all possible options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity of care across life changes.
