About Jenna
Jenna Shersky is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and depression. Jenna also pays attention to issues tied to chronic pain, illness, disability, and feelings of emptiness.
She uses direct, person-centered work to help people notice patterns that cause distress. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and testing new ways of responding. Jenna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make thinking and behavior changes concrete and practical.
Jenna also brings methods from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Together these approaches shape a clear, skills-focused plan for each person.
Her background includes a decade of clinical practice in New York, working with people facing women's issues, family problems, traumatic brain injury, and the effects of chronic health conditions. Jenna aims to help clients build steady coping skills they can use between sessions.
People who meet with her should expect structured conversations, goal-oriented exercises, and practical homework to try between meetings. The focus is on short-term strategies that address immediate problems and on building longer-term habits that reduce distress over time.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Jenna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often involve tracking patterns, practicing new skills between meetings, and reviewing what worked in the next appointment.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings run high or overwhelm daily tasks.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenna will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
