About Joselin
Joselin Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW licensure in New York and New Jersey and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, family tensions, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related issues.
Herrera draws on straightforward, goal-focused methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift their reactions. She also applies trauma-focused approaches when past harm continues to affect daily life. Sessions are practical and skills-oriented rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes work as a psychotherapist at an outpatient mental health clinic in New York. There she supported people dealing with parenting and family challenges, life transitions, and a range of mood and anxiety concerns. Her experience spans clients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and varied sexual orientations and abilities.
In sessions she emphasizes a team approach. The client and therapist set clear goals, track progress, and use concrete tools to change thinking and behavior. Early appointments often include straightforward skill-building and short experiments to test new ways of responding.
Her training includes a Bachelor in Psychology from Stony Brook University and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College. She holds the LCSW credential and practices from New Jersey; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Translate to Online Sessions
Joselin Herrera uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into manageable parts. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing alternative responses. This approach often involves short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that people can try between sessions.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily functioning. That work emphasizes safety, grounding, and step-by-step processing so people can reduce triggers and regain control over everyday reactions. Trauma-focused methods tend to be paced to the person’s readiness.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adapt those strategies as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often use phone or video differently - for example phone can work for quick updates, while video can help with guided exercises that use visual aids. Ask about available formats when you schedule.
