Nerea Jayo Schielke , LCSW

Nerea Jayo Schielke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 20 years of professional experience. As a licensed social worker she draws on extensive experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety, sleeping difficulties, anger management and motivation concerns, as well as challenges with self-esteem and confidence.

She centers her work on the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome life’s obstacles. That strengths-based perspective informs a practical, respectful approach that helps clients identify resources, set achievable goals, and build skills to manage symptoms and day-to-day demands.

Nerea frames change as a courageous step and offers supportive guidance and empowerment throughout the process. Her work emphasizes collaboration and encouragement as clients move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Nerea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical growth and skill development. One key focus is a strengths-based approach that helps clients recognize and build on their existing resources; this approach is useful for boosting self-esteem, increasing motivation, and navigating life transitions. Another common element of her work is skills-based coping and self-regulation training - practical tools and exercises aimed at managing stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and anger so clients can gain more control over daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is framed as a collaborative process. She works together with each person to identify goals, test strategies, and adjust techniques over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than adhering to a fixed plan.

Online therapy allows these evidence-based methods to be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied lifestyles. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make regular sessions easier to attend and support consistent progress toward personal goals.
