About Nerea
Nerea Jayo Schielke is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and identity-related issues like LGBT matters. She speaks both English and Spanish and practices in New Jersey with 20 years of experience.
She approaches each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on existing strengths. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time.
Her background spans two decades of work in clinical settings. That experience informs how she tailors support for things like chronic sleep disruption, coping with major life changes, and compassion fatigue. She helps people sort priorities and try strategies that fit their day-to-day routines.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Expect clear explanations of options and a collaborative plan for progress. The emphasis is on creating manageable goals and tracking what works.
Clients looking to begin will find help with practical issues such as parenting strain, work stress, eating concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and questions related to identity and discrimination. She accepts international clients and offers guidance in both Spanish and English.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. This can be useful for sleep problems, stress, and mood issues. Another practical approach teaches specific skills for managing anger, improving sleep routines, and handling daily stressors through step-by-step exercises and habit changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaborative choice helps make sure techniques fit into each person’s routine and feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone continue care if they move or travel. Because the current profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which online options are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can use video, phone, or messaging in different ways, and this therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling, comfort, and the work you want to do together.
