Jenna Shersky , LCSW

Jenna Shersky is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem and career questions. Jenna brings a calm, practical approach to sessions and focuses on what will help day to day.

She has ten years of experience working with people facing chronic pain, illness, and disability. She also addresses issues like emptiness, isolation, family problems, and traumatic brain injury. There is a specific focus on women's issues, and she helps clients explore how gender and life stage affect emotional health.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Jenna listens first, and then she and the person map out small, achievable steps. She uses tools drawn from common therapy approaches to build coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns.

People can expect practical skill-building alongside reflective conversation. Work might include learning new ways to manage anxiety, improving communication in relationships, or rebuilding self-worth after a loss or health problem. Progress is treated as steady practice rather than instant change.

Jenna holds a New York LCSW, which reflects a clinical social work license in New York. Her practice style emphasizes respect for each person's story and a focus on realistic goals. She aims to help people find more connection, steadiness, and self-compassion over time.

Approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client's goals central. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people better understand their feelings and priorities, which can support work on self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and tackle unhelpful thinking patterns. This approach is useful for stress, depression, and managing symptoms linked to chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or screens are tiring. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, manage symptoms from home, and keep momentum between meetings.
