About Jenna

Jenna Shersky is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports those wrestling with self-esteem, career uncertainty, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or injury. Jenna practices in New York and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Jenna emphasizes building self-compassion and reliable coping habits. Jenna draws on several proven approaches to shape treatment. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Over ten years of experience give her a wide view of common life stresses.

She has particular familiarity with women's issues, family problems, and the effects of chronic pain, illness, and traumatic brain injury. That background helps when health or life transitions make everyday coping harder. In sessions she aims for clear plans and realistic steps.

Conversations often include skill practice, small experiments, and review of what worked. The overall goal is to help people feel steadier, more connected to themselves, and more able to face daily demands.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for people to say what they need and helps shape sessions around those priorities. This approach is useful for exploring identity, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include simple experiments and homework to test new ideas and build better habits. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to pick what fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
