Jenna Shersky

Jenna Shersky is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She supports those working through low self-esteem and career pressure. Jenna also addresses feelings of emptiness and isolation or loneliness in her clinical work.

She draws on ten years of clinical experience in New York to offer steady, practical care. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are direct but warm, aimed at building skills and clearer thinking rather than long theory talks.

Jenna mixes client-centered methods with evidence-based tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress.

Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox when clients want help finding motivation for change. Her goal is to help people set small, achievable steps toward their goals. She encourages self-compassion and realistic action rather than perfection.

Many clients come for support with chronic pain, illness, or disability and related emotional strain. Jenna also works with people recovering from traumatic brain injury and those navigating family problems or forgiveness. Her style is collaborative, paced to each person's needs, and focused on practical coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through emotions and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be combined and adjusted over time to match what works best.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone avoid being on camera by using audio-only options if available. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT and Client-Centered methods to an online setting to focus on practical skills, emotion regulation, and step-by-step change.
