About Jenna
Jenna Shersky is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and career pressure. Jenna also focuses on chronic pain and illness, isolation and emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, self-love, traumatic brain injury, and women's issues.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people map small, manageable steps forward.
Jenna draws on client-centered methods to keep the client's priorities central. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing helps when people are weighing changes related to health, work, or relationships.
In sessions she helps clients build coping strategies for anxiety and depression, sort through relationship patterns, and address the emotional effects of chronic illness or brain injury. Work might include practicing new ways of responding, setting boundaries, or changing daily routines to reduce overwhelm.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Jenna explains options, offers exercises to try between sessions, and checks progress against concrete goals. To begin, people typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set priorities.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. Online sessions using this approach keep conversations grounded in what the client says matters most and allow time to practice choices between meetings.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this translates to identifying unhelpful thinking, trying alternative responses, and using short exercises or worksheets between appointments to track changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online work can include learning distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques, then reviewing how those skills fit into everyday routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on goals, current challenges, and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit into work and family schedules, require less travel time, and make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments.
