Nerea Jayo Schielke, LCSW

Nerea Jayo Schielke is a licensed clinician in New Jersey with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she draws on long-term practice supporting clients with stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

She approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries strengths that can be put to work in overcoming obstacles. That perspective guides her work toward practical growth rather than simply focusing on problems, and she partners with clients to build on what is already working in their lives.

Nerea recognizes that seeking change takes courage, and she offers steady support and empowerment as clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Her style centers on helping people translate insight into action so they can move forward with greater resilience and confidence.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Through Online Care

Nerea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that prioritize practical skills and personal strengths. One approach focuses on skills-based work, teaching concrete coping strategies and behavioral tools that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, manage anger, and increase daily functioning. These techniques aim to create immediate, usable changes in how someone responds to stress.

Another central approach is strengths-based, client-centered work that honors the person as the expert of their own story. This method emphasizes empowerment, motivation, and self-esteem by building on existing resources and helping clients translate insight into meaningful action.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nerea collaborates with each client to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adapt methods as progress unfolds, adjusting pace and focus to match what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever the client is, helping maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, family, and travel.
