About Nerea

Nerea Jayo Schielke is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with two decades of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and parenting struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. ADHD and coaching are also listed among her focus areas, along with multicultural concerns, abandonment, HIV/AIDS, infidelity, intellectual disability, prejudice and discrimination, and cultivating self-love.

Her approach centers on the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and brings strengths that can be mobilized for change. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, offering support while helping clients build confidence and motivation to pursue more fulfilling goals.

The practice accommodates English and Spanish speakers and accepts international clients, providing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Nerea holds the NJ LCSW credential (44SC05291100) and tailors work to individual needs, guiding clients toward practical strategies and sustainable coping skills.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding patterns of thought and behavior and building skills to manage symptoms. Cognitive techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop more balanced perspectives, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better decision making. Skills-based approaches teach practical tools for regulating emotion, improving sleep, and managing anger or overwhelm, making them useful for stress, coping with life changes, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to interventions, then adapts methods to fit what feels most useful and achievable. Clients are invited to provide feedback so plans can be adjusted over time to better meet changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect from different locations using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency during busy schedules or when in-person meetings are impractical, while enabling ongoing skill practice and check-ins between sessions.
