After graduating from Seaford High School in 1997, Henggeler enrolled at SUNY Fredonia but dropped out and moved to Los Angeles two years later, where she received her first acting lessons.

In 2008, and again in 2018, Henggeler took on the guest role of Missy Cooper, the twin sister of one of the show's main characters Sheldon Cooper, in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. After other guest roles in various movies and TV shows over the years and a recurring role on the CBS sitcom Mom, Henggeler made her breakthrough in 2018 when she landed a starring role on Cobra Kai as Amanda LaRusso, the wife of the original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso. In 2019 she was featured in Hulu's episodic holiday horror series In the Dark.
