    About Jenna

    Jenna Shersky is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She works with clients on career concerns and supports those coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability. Jenna writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use in day-to-day life.

    Jenna draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

    Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters, try small experiments, and track progress over time. Jenna aims to help people build resilience and more satisfying routines.

    With ten years of experience as an LCSW in New York, she has worked with people facing family problems, loneliness, emptiness, and issues related to traumatic brain injury. She pays particular attention to women’s concerns and to the emotional impacts of chronic health conditions.

    People can expect a therapist who listens closely, helps set clear goals, and uses simple coping strategies. Jenna supports work on forgiveness, self-love, and repairing strained relationships while keeping practical life demands in view.

  2. Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people uncover their own reasons to change and decide on practical next steps; it’s useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person’s priorities so sessions focus on what the client wants to work on rather than a preset agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to learn their goals and needs, then try methods that fit those priorities. That means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also allow people to use strategies between meetings with quick follow-ups or homework reviewed remotely. Confirm the specific session options available before booking to understand how appointments are scheduled and conducted.
