About Nerea
Nerea Jayo Schielke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and ADHD. She also supports people facing challenges related to identity, multicultural stress, and life changes.
Nerea focuses on practical, respectful work that centers the client's experience. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs in the moment. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and issues tied to stigma such as HIV and prejudice. She also addresses topics like parenting strain, career stress, eating concerns, and infidelity.
Her experience gives her a broad view of how life events affect day-to-day functioning. Therapy sessions use clear goals and real strategies that people can try between meetings. Nerea supports clients in building skills for better sleep, managing strong emotions, improving self-worth, and organizing life when attention or motivation is a struggle.
Spanish-speaking clients can also work with her in Spanish. People who want a steady, experienced guide will find a straightforward approach that mixes problem-solving with emotional support. She invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to take small, manageable steps toward change.
Approaches that guide online work
Evidence-based techniques used in her practice focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for everyday problems like anxiety, sleep disruption, or managing strong emotions; it involves learning and practicing strategies to change habits that cause distress. Another approach centers on processing past hurts and trauma in small, manageable steps so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming and daily life is easier to manage.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so strategies remain useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and environments. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer written communication. These options help make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with a busy life.
